Street Art

Street art refers to artwork created in public spaces, typically unsanctioned and often featuring visual forms such as graffiti, murals, stencils, and installations. Unlike traditional art forms that occupy galleries and museums, street art is accessible to a broader audience and engages with the urban environment. Artists use street art as a medium for self-expression, social commentary, and political activism, often addressing themes relevant to the local community or larger societal issues. Street art can transform ordinary public spaces, provoke thought, and challenge perceptions, blurring the lines between art and vandalism. Its ephemeral nature means that works may be short-lived, as they can be removed or painted over. Overall, street art has gained recognition as a legitimate art form, influencing contemporary culture and urban aesthetics.
