Abstract
The evolution of street art from a mere subculture to a powerful form of political dissent underscores its role in shaping contemporary socio-political discourse. Brushstrokes of Rebellion: Street Art and Political Dissent explores how street art has become a potent form of resistance and expression against authority, inequality, and systemic oppression. Focusing on key urban centres where this phenomenon has flourished, the paper analyses the visual language, symbolism, and messages encoded in murals, graffiti, and installations. Through case studies of major political movements, the paper demonstrates how street art has transcended aesthetic boundaries to challenge power structures, provide alternative narratives, and mobilize communities. The research also discusses the legal and social implications of street art, particularly in areas where its practice is criminalized. The role of digital platforms in amplifying the global visibility of street art is examined, showing how virtual spaces have extended the physical presence of these works, creating a global community of artists and activists. This paper presents street art as an important, dynamic force in political communication, harnessing visual storytelling to subvert traditional forms of media control and state censorship.
