ArtsNational Newcastle Illustrated Lecture

Art or Vandalism


‘Street Art’, regarded as one of the largest art movements of modern times, has achieved huge popularity and is still rapidly growing as an art form. It encompasses graffiti, protest art that speaks to political and social issues, and monumental painted murals. This talk explores the history of the medium from prehistoric times to the modern day and discusses how and why this art has ended up as a mainstream art practice exhibited in respected museums the world over.



Georgina Bexon is an international art historian holding a BA in Art, an MA in Arts Management and Policy and an MA in Art History.
