Papergirl

[1] Art is collected from the local creative community, exhibited, and then, in the style of American paperboys, rolled up and distributed by bicycle in city centres, to random passers-by.

Hence Papergirl was founded whereby works of art are handed directly to the general public at random, similar to how newspapers were distributed in decades past.

Any medium is accepted such as drawings, photographs, text, pictures, stickers, posters, photo-copies - basically anything that is not offensive to anyone and can be rolled and distributed in the Papergirl fashion.

Papergirl projects exist worldwide and follow the concept of open source, however they are subject to a set of criteria set-out by the Berlin creators.

The project started in 2006 as a reaction to a tightening of a law in Berlin in 2005 that equated sticking up posters in public places with spraying graffiti.
