Summary:

To be seen is a study of visual culture, of urban culture and an exploration of an age-old urban cultural phenomenon, street art. The subculture of street art is significant because it is an embodiment of subversive content, which is rare in today's culture of consumerism and political amnesia. It functions as a way of 'taking back the streets,' when public spaces are increasingly privatized-through security cameras, Business Improvement Districts, and the profusion of corporate marketing.
