Abstract
The premise of this paper will discuss the current manifestation of street art, specifically focusing Lahore and Sharjah city. Through field research and exploration of streets and visual documentation on street art, this paper will investigate whether we understand or consider art criticism towards social system? Or, do we take artists as crazy people of our society expressing and impending vandalism? I believe it’s an expression of those daring people to the society and culture they living in. Discussing few of the examples of women artists e.g Naiza Khan’s work “Heena hands on walls.” In addition to this, El Saeed French/Tunisian artist based in UAE shall also be discussed and interviewed regarding how he completely changed the way of seeing graffiti, which is mostly known as vandalism. How does art play role in challenging the community or democracy? All such queries shall be debated and criticized through interviews and literature.
