Abstract

Urban art is more than large format images in our streets; it is an artistic expression that protests, acclaims, claims and complains about the situations we live day by day. It is true that there is a vast production of themes and that according to the context is that they are appropriate or rejected by the community that coexists with it. However, there is an aesthetic referring to politics and protest, made specifically to denounce political situations, violent acts or simply to highlight various situations in different parts of the world, such as: migration, feminism, political criticism, racism, economics, citizen protest among other issues. This is how the aesthetics of urban art is focused between politics and art.
