Across cities, alleys, and fences, raw messages have emerged from the street — not as polished murals but as sharp, urgent protest signs. This collection features 8 striking examples of public resistance, where chalk, spray paint, and handwritten letters expose inequality, demand justice, and disrupt everyday complacency. From anti-billionaire graffiti in Glasgow to organizing slogans stenciled on brick walls.
