The Coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic has been a global crisis with profound impacts on every aspect of life, including the arts. As forms of public expression, street pop art and graffiti artwork have been particularly active in commenting on and reflecting the societal changes and emotional landscapes shaped by the pandemic. Around the world, walls and public spaces have become canvases for artists to document, process, and question the collective experience of living through a pandemic.
