“…Worldwide communication and transportation has blurred the edges between ‘local’ and ‘global’ forms of collaboration. Even non‐interacting participants are knowledgeable about the work of their distant peers (Daichendt ). For example, the work of amateur game designers in Helsinki has drawn the attention of the international game community.…”

A visual culture learning community (VCLC) is an adolescent or young adult group engaged in expression and creation outside of formal institutions and without adult supervision. In the framework of an international, comparative research project executed between 2010 and 2014, members of a variety of eight self‐initiated visual culture groups ranging from manga and cosplay through contemporary art forms, fanart video, graffiti and cosplay in five urban areas (Amsterdam, Budapest, Chicago, Helsinki and Hong Kong) were studied through interview, participant observation and analysis of art works. In this article, collaborative group practices and processes in informal learning environments are presented through results of on‐site observations, interviews and analyses of creations. VCLCs are identified as inspiring, collaborative spaces of peer mentoring that enhance both visual skills and self‐esteem. Authors reveal how identity formation is interrelated with networking and knowledge sharing. Adolescents and young adults become participants of global communities of their creative genres through reinterpretation and individualisation of shared visual repertoires. In conclusion, implications for art education from the VCLC model for creative collaboration are suggested.

“…Though the examples in this article primarily represent politically-orientated interventions in public contexts, it must be noted that these exist alongside other public-facing material interventions that might better be recognised for their aesthetic aspirations or, for example, their humorous interjections on everyday life. These creative, public-facing, material interventions, whether politically minded like the anti-Putin stencil or otherwise, are often categorised as 'street art' by scholars (Daichendt 2013), the media (Arlandis 2013), and the general public (Gaskell 2022).…”

Resistance through the Temporality, Placement, and Modification of Street Art in Scotland’s Streets

Through a methodology of ethnographic walking and photographic documentation this article considers and redefines street art within the contexts of the disciplines of Ethnology and Folklore. By considering wide-ranging Scottish examples of public-facing interventions through the concepts of temporality, placement and location, and modification and defacement, this article contributes to a wider scholarly and general discussion on the role and importance of street art in our everyday lives. It argues for the significance and usefulness of these conceptual frameworks, which not only link street art in Scotland to street art around the world, but also reveal the common hybrid physical and online nature of much street art. The examples included of public interventions are almost all connected through the theme of resistance, whether personal, local, national, or international. Examples explored relate to the Scottish Independence Referendum, anti-gentrification campaigning, the Covid-19 pandemic, the Black Lives Matter movement, trans rights activism, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
