There is a rumble of protest in the air and on the walls! A new generation of politically engaged artists, designers, and communicators worldwide is using the art of stencil as an accessible yet powerful medium to express their ideas. The book The Stencil Graffiti Handbook sees Tristan Manco returning to the streets. Through an unrivaled network of contacts with street art artists, acquired over more than two decades of delving into the scene, Manco has scoured the world to find the most interesting street artists working today – those operating outside the mainstream 'Urban Art' market and under the radar of those not among the true connoisseurs. Exploring the medium's applications in grassroots activism as well as in the contemporary craft scene, Manco sheds light on this blossoming art form. The Stencil Graffiti Handbook delves into the fundamentals of street art – location, space, technique, and subject – before heading to the streets to see how, where, and why stencil graffiti reigns supreme. It also includes studio visits with artists and practices, step-by-step instructions through projects guided by artists, with specially commissioned educational diagrams from the famous Colombian collective Instituto Bogotano de Corte. The Stencil Graffiti Handbook is an irreplaceable education and inspiration for anyone with an open mind and a rebellious spirit.
