ABSTRACT

The chapter addresses how artistic activities can contribute to ongoing legal, political, and cultural discussions. Agha presents a contrast between public monuments and alternative forms of street art, against the backdrop of the so-called Lennon Wall located in a central square in Prague. By following the historical, political, and aesthetic changes occurring over three decades, Agha illustrates some of Rancière’s key insights into the role of art in the public sphere, disrupting the perceptual and epistemic underpinning of a given police order.
