Preferred term

yomango  

Definition(s)

  • Yomango is an independent franchise created in Barcelona, Spain, in 2002 by tactical media practitioners who take shoplifting as an activist practice. The name is a word play referencing the Spanish denim brand Mango; it is also slang for “to borrow” and “to take things under your sleeve.” Yomango transforms the hidden, individual act of shoplifting into a carnivalesque gesture, collectively shared and publicly exposed. [Source: Encyclopedia of Activism and Social Justice; Yomango]
