The Language of Street-Art: Shai Dahan at TEDxGöteborg

Started as a graffiti writer at age 14 while living in Los Angeles. Shai has always challenged himself to find new ways of creating public art. Currently, he lives in Borås, Sweden with his wife and two dogs. In May 2012, Shai traveled to a conflict-driven region of Israel to take part of a creative collaboration and an art journey. As he became part of this journey, Shai realized that this project was more than just drawing a painting on a wall. It became a journey for finding hope in a land where optimism seemed to have vacated long ago.

i agree that art is a form of communication, and street art a form of intervention. but in my opinion the challenge is that the art should be driven by consciousness. what does it mean to speak of palestine-israel without speaking about settler colonialism, oppression, militarism, and the struggle for social justice?

I have just started filming some of the best street art walks in Europe on our youtube channel (Malaga and Bristol to begin with) - it's been a pleasure to do this with no ad's or agenda - just an appreciation. Thanks I really enjoyed the video and have subscribed.
