Description

Street art, born in the urban settings of the 1970s, is closely linked to the hip-hop movement. Initially expressed as graffiti, it served as a platform for marginalized voices to assert their identity and address socio-political issues. Over time, its techniques diversified, from murals to installations. Once an act of rebellion, street art has now gained recognition, moving from city walls to prestigious art galleries, marking its significant role in contemporary art.
