USES AND PURPOSE OF STREET ART

The voice of the voiceless
Street art can be found anywhere and its message can be very powerful. Many street artists use it to voice their opinions, most of the time political, and to fight against corporations or big firms.
Many instances come in the form of guerrilla art, which is intended to make a personal statement about the society that the artist lives within.

Sometimes, it is also used by advertising companies who resort to street art for their ads in order to attract the youth. It is also used to write athletes or artists into the history books and portray them as icons. For example the murals of Messi and Cristiano in Kazan, Muhammad Ali in Los Angeles, Mohammed Salah in New York or Bad Bunny in Puerto Rico.
