Places and means of access to culture are very numerous and very diverse. However, one often makes a deliberate approach to access knowledge: visit a museum, surf the net, participate in classes etc. Fortunately, there are areas of universal access, all you need is to keep your eyes and ears open, together with the spirit: at home, during family discussions, in school, or in the countryside during walks etc.
The place that would be the most universally accessible is the street: there is no place more accessible or open. In the past, the walls of the street served as a medium of information through the notice posters stuck on it.
Even today, we notice that this medium is being used as a place of communication and action. For a while now, these walls have increasingly become the refuge of the precursors of the artistic movement, who indulge in spectacular displays of artistry, which are more or less publicized.
The allure of this form of art lies in the fact that posters and information notices are a common sight on the streets, while, murals, graffiti and representations of hip-hop are harder to come by. Moreover, many artists including photographers and painters use the street for their projects. This makes one wonder about the cultural contributions to our intellect and how they are received.
Awareness of the street as a tool and a cultural venue has been present since time immemorial. We will, however, reveal all facets of street art.
Before newspapers came into existence, the only ways to communicate ideas were through discussions on the street. The information could come from representatives of the aristocracy or hawkers. They went around the countryside and the villages. Thus, the population was kept abreast of developments such as tax increases, for example.
There were also displays with the underlined words: "Notice to the public". All this happened on the street, which was the meeting place as well as the venue for distributing information for several ages.
