FAQ About The Role of Street Art in Political Activism
In what ways has street art been commercialized, and what does this mean for its activist roots?
Street art has seen some degree of commercialization, with pieces being sold in art galleries and styles being co-opted by marketers. While this can lead to greater recognition and legitimacy for the artists, it can also dilute the activist roots by prioritizing aesthetic value over political message. The challenge lies in maintaining the balance between commercial success and staying true to its activist roots.
