Bathroom Graffiti Manifesto:

Bathroom Graffiti is an expression of the people, by the people and for the people. We all appreciate the dynamic of what ritual and culture have to offer – it’s the umbilical cord that connects us to who we are, what we believe, love and fear. Bathroom Graffiti acknowledges the anonymous neurons, these living and breathing memories that will themselves into existence as we purge the memetic culture that has infiltrated our everyday lives. From politiks to the emotional residue these words and images are the remains, the collateral damaged, the digital dust accumulated from the constant barrage of the multi-media’s industrial carpet bombing. The bathroom is where these neurons are splattered on the wall like butterflies on the grill of a passing truck. From the marginalized to the spiritualized it’s where thoughts go to die, to become immortal. It’s the voice of the people and in these times the voice of reason may come from a can of krylon or a sharpie marker. Some express themselves for fun and others with reason and purpose. From coffeehouses to corporate restrooms and bars across the planet Bathroom Graffiti sheds an unfiltered light on an anonymous aspect of our world, where words and images are pulled from the ether in the ritual of human expression.

This is a medium unwilling to conform, as it reveals our dark little secrets. Sometimes profound, always entertaining, humorous and obscure but always free from the mental constraint of the media’s conditioning. The Latrinalians scrawl and draw hoping these linguistic events affect another. Whether you have read it, written it or acknowledged Bathroom Graffiti most everyone at one time or another has participated. The fact that we all react to it differently is the beauty of it’s never ending dialogue.

Allow other Bathroom Graffiti enthusiast and Latrinalians from around the planet to see what others think, write or draw in your local neighborhood bar, college, or workplace.

It’s not a wall that divides, but ideas. The words and images of Bathroom Graffiti resonate with the spirit in which it is written. These cultural artifacts of word and image reflect what we have in common, to share the anonymous aspect of the human condition that we all can relate to, and in the end isn’t that what we’re all trying to do?
