The City Is Ours is a finite series of 6 issues that invite you to explore your city, town, or street with more curious eyes. Halfway between a book and a magazine, each issue is dedicated to a specific theme relating to the streetscape.

Ever notice how those eye-catching ads, posters, and flyers plastered all over our cities gradually transform as they’re torn down? What’s left is often an abstract image, inviting us to find our own meaning.

In the late 1940s, artists like Mimmo Rotella, Raymond Hains, and Jacques Villeglé recognized the potential in these fragments, revealing the beauty of ripped posters through their works.

But can we truly appreciate these unintentional expressions in our everyday streetscape? Can we uncover their hidden stories and artistic potentials?
