Slap Ups

Slap Ups (AKA Sticker Art) have played an important role in street art culture as a way to cross pollinate between mediums and creative movements. Through techniques such as collage and image manipulation, Slap-Ups have provided a platform for street artists to create unique imagery that attempts to subvert the commercial nature of mass media.
Slap Up artists often trade their work with one another in order to expand the reach and scope of distribution within their communities. An artist’s stickers may be distributed through this worldwide network and end up in places they themselves have never traveled to.

Cut, Copy, Paste, Zine

In this workshop you will learn and create your own 3–4 page zine.
A zine is typically a noncommercial often homemade or online publication usually devoted to specialized and often unconventional subject matter.
Street art is part of an independent attitude and movement of creative expression, and zines are an important element of this community, capturing the attitudes and creative work through the lens of the authors. Zines are the perfect tool to build and support community, as well as a great voice for the voiceless. Poets and visual artists have also used zines as a cheap and unique way to showcase their work.
