Independent public art like graffiti and street art often gets a bad rap, thanks to its legal classification as vandalism. But these art forms have much to offer as a means for people to speak truth to power and take ownership of community spaces. In this episode of Crash Course Art History, we’ll explore the various ways artists have used illicit public art to express themselves.

Tbh I love graffiti. It’s often really cool looking and is usually done on otherwise plain objects and buildings. It’s a form of beautification imho. Especially on, say, abandoned buildings, or otherwise boring underpasses.
Meanwhile, my hometown took a strip mall that was once known as the yellow triangle for its yellow coloration and painted it a boring gray and I am aghast. All the new buildings going up are also gray and white and desperately need color. Even the business behind my house used to be a tattoo parlor and had a colorful tiger and an Oni on the sides. But then new owners happened and those got painted over grey. I just want color in my world, dammit! More graffiti to brighten this cold world!

If the owner of the space doesn't want it there, they have the right to remove it. That said, some of the coolest unofficial public art I've ever seen was Los Angeles underpass graffiti.
