Africa’s No 1 Arts Bookstore and Publisher

A new global street culture has emerged, uniting the world’s diverse subcultures. Graffiti and skateboarding, DJ-ing, fashion and printmaking – this packed book celebrates the street as a stage for the creativity of a generation.

“Whether you’re gathering your bearings in the heart of a city, or staring at its skyline from miles away, you can usually tell where you are by looking at the unique landscape of any city. The common threads that run through so many urban environments - tall buildings, crowded sidewalks, street vendors - are always interwoven with the distinct features that come with a city’s geography, architecture, and, most importantly, its residents. Cities become epicentres of culture when their hippest citizens get together and create grassroots movements that eventually become the trends that spread to their suburbs and beyond. Eventually, the efforts of those people all come together to give each city its unique character. After all, what is a city, if not a man-made creation?”

From New York and Los Angeles, to the Brazilian mega-cities, South African townships, and Mumbai, the authors highlight cultural hotspots around the world – in more than 100 topics and more than 1,000 colour photographs.
