Types of street art

When we talk about street art, it is common to associate it with graffiti. However, there are several other expressions that characterize this movement. They are:

Graffiti: this is the most recognized form, which appears on large walls, walls and buildings throughout cities, bringing beautiful paintings and social criticism.

Theater/music: theater and music are also part of street art and can be easily found on Paulista Avenue on Sundays, for example. Through them, we can identify various artistic expressions and even a way of making a living.

In addition, poetry, dance, circus and living statues also fit into urban art, each with its own beauty and purpose.

It is through street art that lifestyles, music and even clothing styles are born. Many brands are part of this movement, being created and developed through this cultural movement.

This is how we see the history of names like Starter, for example, which accompanied artists from their popular performances to the big stages, marking their careers and today being a symbol for fans and supporters of cultural manifestations like Hip-Hop.
