Street art is visual art created in public spaces, often without official permission. It encompasses graffiti, wheat-paste, stencil, mural, and installation work placed on walls, footpaths, and urban infrastructure. Many cities are internationally recognised for dense street art cultures shaped by laneways, walls, and public gathering places. Many street artists now work on commissioned murals and gallery exhibitions, though the tension between public access and institutional validation remains part of the discourse.
