With the advent of the internet, we found a relatively inexpensive way to get our message across without having to go through the hassle of writing, producing and distributing a paper.
Yes!! Some very good points raised here. The streets, while we can still move about them freely, are the truly ‘democratic’ spaces where all and sundry jostle cheek by jowl - well, used to in the good ol’ days when people had to be physically present to do things like shopping or entertainment. I suppose that is why historically ‘the street’ was always something looked at suspiciously by the powers that be, because of the potential gathering of people for all sorts of activities (from carnival to riot, and the two were often linked).
As to the problem of digital communications, I have lately thought that if one truly wanted to keep a message uncensored or unobserved, then a proper paper letter sent in a sealed envelope through the post is the best, since getting more and more below the proverbial radar, so to speak.
Thanks for thé post - how could one get their hands on stickers?
Totally!!! Ive been thinking about the wording for a poster that would encourage others to poster/write on blank posters in the same area maybe.
