Description: This course dives into the vibrant and dynamic world of street art in French-speaking cities, exploring how graffiti, hip-hop, and photography act as powerful forms of cultural expression, political resistance, and social commentary. From the graffiti-covered walls of Paris’s banlieues to the hip-hop scenes in Dakar and the street photography capturing urban life in the Caribbean, students will analyze the intersection of art, identity, and urban landscapes. Through the works of influential street artists, photographers, and musicians, the course will uncover how marginalized voices use creative mediums to challenge societal norms and envision alternative futures.
