Escif Shepard Fairey Blu Aryz Positive-Propaganda is a non-profit art association based in Munich, which is dedicated to establishing contemporary and socio-political art in urban spaces. The association’s members consist of a group of art and culture enthusiasts who share the aim of promoting young art and communicating it on a regional and international level. In doing so, our main concern is to sensitise young people to art and culture with current socio-political subjects such as human rights, environmental protection and cancer prevention.

Support We The People, Public Art for the Inauguration Eight years ago, the artist Shepard Fairey made the iconic image that captured a period of HOPE in America. Today we are in a very different moment, one that requires new images that reject the hate, fear, and open racism that were normalized during the 2016 presidential campaign. So on Inauguration Day, We the People will flood Washington, DC with NEW symbols of hope.

In this hyper-connected, hyper-disconnected moment, the most primitive form of social media in existence — the wall that expresses something of our shared humanity — is what we need. In this low-empathy, low-trust, rising-fear moment, there’s a need and opportunity for art in the streets like never before.

In this hyper-connected, hyper-disconnected moment, the most primitive form of social media in existence—the wall that expresses something of our shared humanity—is what we need.

From Luzinterruptus: Part of Lumiere London 2016, an unprecedented light festival that offered a unique vision of London during 4 nights getting the public involved massively as they enjoyed a carless, artistically intervened downtown area. They are allowing this huge mass of about 4 million tons of more or less crushed plastic to shape about 22,200 kilometers (about 13,794 miles) of irregular surface which goes 30 meters (about 98 feet) deep under the water, and is destroying most of the marine wildlife in the area and transforming the ecosystem. – this was a quick, cheap solution without technical difficulties but, being such an emblematic space, inevitable technical problems came up so we finally decided to build doughnut-shaped self-illuminated round structures that were to hold the bottles inside, making them inaccessible to the public. This installation stayed at Trafalgar Square from January 14 to January 17, accompanying Hans Haacke’s sculpture which was at Plinto at the time carefully watched by the police, the square’s visitors and, of course, by Lord Nelson.
