Israel is a vibrant country pulsating with life. Street art (visual artifacts) serve as powerful reminders of the culture wars within and outside its borders. Among the myriad of artistic expressions within its diverse urban landscapes, war-related street art stands out with its evocative imagery and thought-provoking messages. In the heart of Tel Aviv, for example, spray-painted murals depict scenes of conflict, standing as silent witnesses to the ongoing battles fought throughout Israel's history and the present war with Hamas. Beyond the physical depictions, Israel’s Street art manifests the ongoing cultural battles fought within society. It serves as a platform for dissenting voices, challenging mainstream narratives, and provoking dialogue about the complexities of war and its impact on daily life.
This is a non-partisan project documenting Street art as visual artifacts of culture wars.
