Social activism in Armenia

This is art *

                                             STREET ART 

   Street art has started to develop in Armenia very recently. As          to this, it is divided into two parts — real street art that is                created by independent people with ideas and meanings and          '' street art '' financed by the government to make cities more           beautiful.

   Street art in Yerevan

   Street art in Gyumri

   Street art in Stepanakert

Besides of the street art financed by the government

There are lots of independant organizations and individuals

Who create art in streets

And sometimes suffer because of their creations

 Change of power

 Independence

 Self - determination

"Hakaharvats" — "counterblow" is working for

 Fulfilling dreams

    Fearlessness

       Disobedience

      Humanity

For their open-mindedness and struggle to be independent  the members of  "hakaharvats" have been arrested by the police several times, but their fight is still continuing

" Hakaharvats" is mostly focused on political issues in Armenia and is agitating the idea of  revolution for better life.

 Artur Avagyan is one of the  artists for whom graffiti is the  way of expressing  feellings  people don't usually speak  about.

He is the creator of the graffiti series dedicated to the soldiers who gave their lives for their homeland in Arpil 2016. 

Artur's works are done on the walls of the  State University of Yerevan, and there are two reasons for that. 

1. People must always see and remember them as great heroes of their country.

2. People must always understand that they need to do their work as god as these soldiers did: If you are a teacher, be a good one.
