STREET ART & COLLECTIVE IMAGINATION
oktowallz is an Istanbul-based platform that creates space for street art and artists — not just on walls, but across disciplines, cultures, and conversations.
“ The public has a right to art.
The public needs art, and it is the responsibility of a “self-proclaimed” artist to realize the public needs art, and not to make bourgeois art for the few and ignore the masses.
I am interested in making art to be experienced and explored by as many individuals as possible with as many different individual ideas about the given piece with no final meaning attached.
The viewer creates the reality, the meaning, the conception of the piece . I am merely a middleman trying to bring ideas together.”
Keith Haring, 1978
