Peter Bengtsen, Anna-Sophie Jürgens

Research output: Contribution to journalDebate/Note/Editorialpeer-review

Abstract

In this article, Peter Bengtsen, who has written several books on street art, approaches the topic of Street Art, Science and Engagement as an academic. He discusses how he became interested in environmental street art, how his research developed and how and to what extent environmental street art can influence the viewer and bring about positive behavioural change. Unpacking selected international examples of public art, the article critically reflects on the power of street art to communicate environmental messages and raise public awareness of environmental issues.
