Neighbourhood Posters documents Vancouver’s vibrant, non-commercial neighborhood poster scene from 2025 to 2026: a site of ever-changing, colourful, unregulated information flow, announcing art and music events, parties, rallies, calls to action, and political messages. The posters cover utility poles, electrical boxes, bus shelters, and empty storefronts; a consistent presence in this urban landscape. They are often marred by the weather or defaced and transformed by rips, scrapes and scribbles. Assembling this analogue activity provides a record of the flow of information-sharing, which inherently protests late-capitalism’s insistence on digital communication, and is an archive of cultural engagement that otherwise wouldn’t survive. Collectively, this poster activity is a testament to a diverse, persistent, and lively Vancouver.
