ABSTRACT
This chapter examines anonymous street artists who use social media to promote their artivist (artist+activist) ideologies. Through their work, they create a discourse of resistance that is able to cross not only the demarcated boundaries of cities and countries, but also divisions of gender, race, class, and religion. For these anonymous street artists, anonymity allows them to use the internet to promote their work while subverting the collection of data and the monitoring of their true identity. In this way, their actions become a twofold political statement against social injustice and the omnipresent force of technological agency.
