TOULOUSE
Street art has become a truly recognised art form. It was ennobled in the 1990s as part of the hip-hop movement, and the aesthetic and symbolic value of graffiti has come a long way since it was first misunderstood by the general public. Whether inspired by comics or video games, graffiti artists such as Space Invader or Banksy, sometimes incognito, can now be found in art galleries and museums.
Since Philadelphia in the United States, the spread of this culture in France has been slow but charismatic. Did you know that thanks to the artists of the Truskool, as well as women graffiti artists such as Mlle Kat, Toulouse is the second most recognised city in France for its dynamism in the urban arts? To see for yourself, all you have to do is wander the streets and attend specialist events such as the Mister Freeze and Layup exhibitions and line-ups.
