Street art and the Iranian struggle…

Everyone around the world knows that street art can have a profound effect on the society that surrounds it. Whether it’s art during our own presidential election in the U.S. or the powerful images that artists have posted in Israel and Palestine - namely during projects like Santa’s Ghetto in Bethlehem - feelings portrayed here make the events that swirl around the art even more powerful. Nowadays, most of you should know that street art can make the world go ’round, and vice versa.

That said, a lot of art has been popping up on the streets of Iran as the people there struggle for their votes and their right to be heard. (As you know, we’re big supporters of the cause.) Below are some images that have been seen on the streets of Iran this week, nod to Andrew Sullivan and FryingPanFire. We don’t know who the artists are, but major props to those involved. More pictures and info in the below links.
