Street art is more than decoration. It is a living cultural code, constantly changing, responding and leaving clues about the people and places around it. From ancient cave paintings and early signatures to graffiti-covered trains and enormous murals reshaping city skylines, humans have always felt the urge to leave their mark. But how did modern street art emerge? What separates graffiti from a mural? And why does street art look and feel so different from one country to another? In this visual lecture, we’ll talk about: - The human desire to leave a mark, from cave walls to city walls - The birth of modern graffiti and New York’s painted trains - Street art’s journey from underground culture to the mainstream - Legal murals, performance art and socially engaged works - Examples from Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia, Thailand, Nepal, Laos, Vietnam, Turkey and Kazakhstan - How to notice the details, symbols and stories most people walk straight past You’ll leave with a new way of looking at the city, and perhaps begin spotting art where you once saw only walls.
