Artivism, street art and the Global Impact of “Pimp My Carroça”

The essence of street art is to appeal to many people given that it is a form of art done in public areas, which may be perceived as unusual. Diverse art forms, like graffiti, and stencil, which are the ones I am approaching in this post with the “Pimp My Carroça” project, contribute to the vibrant and ever-evolving nature of street art, transcending linguistic boundaries and expressing opinions on poverty, war, environmental pollution, and other important global issues.

How do we frame Banksy’s art?

Art is, by definition, in the Britannica Dictionary: something that is created with imagination and skill and that is beautiful or that expresses important ideas or feelings. So, we can say it is very useful when it comes to making people think and feel. One name that stands out very strong among the ranks of iconic artists is Banksy, the British street artist whose works break through traditional barriers. Through a combination of humour, provocation, and creative originality however, it is these topics that Banksy’s art speaks about in societies where politics, poverty and social distinction are poorly articulated.
