Abstract

The title "The Evolution of Street Art as a Global Movement" encapsulates the transformative journey of street art from its local origins to its current status as a global phenomenon. This abstract delves into the historical context, cultural significance, and artistic evolution of street art. It begins with the grassroots emergence of street art in resistance movements and urban subcultures, highlighting how it served as a form of expression against societal norms. Over time, street art has diversified, incorporating various artistic styles and techniques, leading to its global spread. The abstract discusses the role of technology in facilitating the international exchange of ideas and the influence of local cultures on street art practices worldwide. It argues that street art has become a powerful tool for social commentary, political protest, and cultural expression, transcending geographical boundaries. The evolution of street art is not only a testament to the resilience and adaptability of street artists but also reflects the changing landscape of global culture.
