As we can understand, the term “Street Art” refers to a form of cultural expression that consists of leaving one’s mark on a wall. Art has long been used as a symbol, a way to shape a message, gather support, transmit information, and stir emotions.
For many street artists, the original motivation was to express opposition, to a political system, a social structure, or the way their country functioned. Graffiti has endured and continues to thrive. However, while the essence remains the same, a refusal to conform, the goals of street artists have evolved.
New motivations and techniques have emerged, transforming the streets of the city into true open-air museums, accessible and free for everyone. Street Art today goes beyond protest; it has become a powerful form of artistic expression that invites the public to look at the city in a new way.
