What is urban art?

Urban Art (street art, in English) is a type of art found in urban spaces. It manifests itself through interventions, performances, graffiti, theater, among others.

These artistic actions take place in public environments and interact directly with individuals. Generally, they use large urban centers as support, where there is intense movement of people and cultural diversity.

This way, citizens end up encountering art without having to go to cultural centers.

In practice, urban art represents the meeting of life and art, as this union occurs naturally while human beings live and move around the city.
