Enough With The Billboards: Reclaiming Public Spaces with Street Art | Éva Boros | TEDxNashville

Éva Boros was born in Schorndorf, Germany, in 1988, and raised in Hungary after the withdrawal of the Soviet Occupation in 1991. At age 11, she emigrated to the United States. Witnessing graffiti was a primary point of similarity among the different cities and countries she lived during her childhood. As a result, she became fascinated by the subculture and visuals surrounding the art form. She has since written and produced "Saving Banksy," a documentary about the theft and appropriation of street art and graffiti. She is also the co-founder of Nashville Walls Project which aims to bring street art by both international and local artists to public spaces. Watch Éva's talk now to be inspired and to learn more about the importance of art in public spaces.
