It was the waves of political and economic turbulence that triggered the rise of street art around the world: The Berlin Wall’s ‘one-sided’ graffiti being projected as a fight of colourful expression on one side versus the stark totalitarianism of bland emptiness on the other being a rather simplistic definition.
