The art of protesting on Delhi's city walls
Highlights
Until a few years ago, Delhi was virtually graffiti free. But street art has gained in popularity and many young people use the city walls to express matters close to their heart, from women\'s empowerment to the importance of sanitation.
Until a few years ago, Delhi was virtually graffiti free. But street art has gained in popularity and many young people use the city walls to express matters close to their heart, from women's empowerment to the importance of sanitation.
Such political messages, painted for all to see in the streets of India's capital, do not always go unnoticed. There is a fine line between vandalism and art. Graffiti is illegal, and a punishable offense in Indian law. This is often used to stifle graffiti artist's protests, and forces them to operate clandestinely, working late at night.
However, a Street Art Festival hosted for 2 months at the beginning of this year seems to show an evolution of the mindsets of the authorities. It recognizes Graffiti artists work, and shows the validity of the messages they bring close to the people. Artists applauded this event, which they hope will make street art in Delhi even more dynamic.
