Street Art: Keep your coins, I want change

Taustatiedot
This street art was stenciled in the style of Banksy, although the artist is unknown, in Melbourne. It plays on the word "change" to draw attention to homelessness.

Tämä on mediavaikuttamista, koska
This is propaganda because it is showing that others (homeless or not) want change, but the meaning of the word change is not what it is normally thought of when we think of a homeless person asking for change- thus getting the audience to think. However, when it comes to homeless issues, changing the systems that create and sustain homeless is very complicated. This artistic statement does bring attention to the issue, but in no way gives enough information to understand it.

    I think if everyone on the street had this mindset they wouldn't be on the street.

    I think this is an extremely powerful message because people can merely throw change in a cup or actually try to make a difference in peoples lives.

    This graffiti is an example of using our emotion to change the way we think to make us do things we typically would not do before, but the graffiti represents is a form of propaganda, but is not being used in a harmful way

    I really like this. The word play. The image. The message. It's all there and it actually is really smart and clever. I also think the message is clear and it really does change the way people see this problem.

    he shows how people mindlessly throw coins at homeless people but what they want is a change to the social state of the world, showing how homelessness kills people and the lousy money thrown at people make a little to no dent in the was of helping people who need it
