Street Art

Street art refers to visual art created in public locations, typically unsanctioned and often intended for a broader audience than traditional art forms. It encompasses a wide range of mediums and styles, including graffiti, murals, stickers, and installations. Street art is often characterized by its vibrant colors and social or political messages, aiming to provoke thought, inspire change, or beautify urban environments. Unlike traditional art displayed in galleries, street art exists outside of institutional frameworks, making it accessible to everyone. The movement has evolved from graffiti’s roots in urban culture to encompass various artistic expressions, with many street artists gaining recognition and exhibiting their work in formal settings. Street art serves as a form of cultural commentary, engaging with issues such as identity, politics, and community, and often reflects the environment in which it is created.
