Banksy’s Silence on Gaza: A Surprising Shift in the Artist’s Activism

Sami Wakim Sami Wakim November 19, 2024

Banksy, the enigmatic street artist whose works have long served as social and political commentary, has often championed the plight of the oppressed. His art has critiqued war, capitalism, and systemic injustice in stark, often haunting ways. One of his most powerful gestures was the opening of The Walled Off Hotel in Bethlehem in 2017, …

The Poetry of Collapse: The Aesthetic and Activism of Murmure

Sami Wakim Sami Wakim June 2, 2026

Since 2010, the French artistic duo Murmure—composed of visual artists Paul Ressencourt and Simon Roché—has been quietly restructuring how we interact with the urban canvas. Originally founded as a creative studio, the duo eventually stripped away commercial constraints to engage directly with the public, shifting their visual focus toward the raw textures of public space. …

Interview: Nychos

Sami Wakim Sami Wakim July 1, 2015

Nychos is undoubtedly one of the most prolific artists in the street art world. He started out on the graffiti scene at 17, painting in his home city of Vienna (Austria). Growing up in a family of hunters, Nychos developed an interest in the anatomy and skeletal of animals and slowly merging his interest with his passion to paint …

The American Dream By Jofre Oliveras

Vittoria Benzine Vittoria Benzine December 23, 2019

One’s relationship to the place where they live largely depends upon their privilege, stemming either from the environment they were born into or the circumstances affecting their life. Either way, the experience of any one place is different for every person inhabiting that place. Rankings like those provided by US News incorporate metrics considering cost …

#Repost @tbilisimuralfest ・・・ Gurjaani 2026 ▪️We’ #Repost @tbilisimuralfest ・・・ Gurjaani 2026 ▪️We’re back in our beloved Gurjaani, where we’ve added several new murals to the city’s growing collection of public art. We’re excited to present the first mural of this year’s edition in Gurjaani, created by our good friend, artist @edoardo.ettorre . “Concrete Horizons” This artwork transforms the façade of a building into a visual narrative about the value of knowledge. Its protagonist, a young girl balancing on a stack of books, leans beyond a wall to observe what lies on the other side. Her simple yet deeply meaningful gesture becomes a metaphor for reading as a tool that elevates our perspective and broadens our horizons. The books are not portrayed merely as objects, but as the foundation that enables us to overcome the limits imposed by appearances and barriers, whether physical, cultural, or mental. Thanks to them, the girl is able to see beyond the wall, a symbol of the unknown, prejudice, and superficial beliefs. The wall is not torn down; instead, it is knowledge that makes it possible to look beyond it, suggesting that true growth stems from curiosity and the desire to understand what is not immediately visible. Thanks to @rame13_art for posing. 📍Gurjaani Georgia. 9 April st. ✔️Our supporters: City hall Gurjaani Embassy of Italy in Georgia Alpina paint @montanacans #tbilisimuralfest #streetarteverywhere #kakheti #streetart mural

Maybe it’s just me, but sometimes it feels like fo Maybe it’s just me, but sometimes it feels like football’s biggest stage mirrors the injustice in this world: the powerful are given the benefit of the doubt, while the vulnerable are expected to survive every blow. When an established football giant is in trouble, the game somehow seems to find a way back in their favor. But when an underdog dares to dream the margin for error becomes razor thin. Egypt showed they belonged. They matched Argentina with courage, quality, and belief. Yet the controversial decisions left many wondering whether the football world is truly ready to embrace a new story, or whether it still prefers the familiar giants to advance.

Cabo Verde’s journey was never just about football Cabo Verde’s journey was never just about football. It became a symbol of resilience, hope, and perseverance. A small island nation with limited resources stood toe-to-toe with the world’s elite, reminding us that heart can compete with history. In many ways, Cabo Verde won something greater than matches—they won the hearts of those who have always rooted for the overlooked, the underestimated, and the marginalized. Their story inspired millions because it proved that dreams don’t belong only to the powerful. Sometimes, the greatest victory isn’t lifting the trophy. It’s giving people a reason to believe that anything is possible. Now on to our next underdogs: Egypt and Morocco…with a special mention to Mexico!
#Repost @amyshackletonart ・・・ This is the largest #Repost @amyshackletonart ・・・ This is the largest canvas I’ve spun on my wall easel so far! It’s 8 × 8 feet, which I found out isn’t the most practical size to ship 😆 It all started with an inquiry from someone who had seen my work online. She loved my “looking up” series, so I worked with her interior designer to determine the perfect colour palette for the space. I created a digital study, as I always do, to make sure we were all on the same page. Once I had the green light, I got to work in my studio. This video shows you the rest! I love working big, collaborating with others, and bringing an idea to life. Painting details: Tower Grove (Chicago + Toronto + Minden Hills) 2024, 8’ × 8’ Acrylic on canvas ❤️ SOLD
