Vernissage: The Art of Protest - FAKE & L.E.T.

In the organizer's words:

Vernissage of the exhibition "The Arf of Protest"

Stencil art has always been deeply rooted in protest. This technique was not created in studios, but on the streets - as a weapon of words and images in times when speaking the truth was dangerous. In the 1960s and 70s, activists and artists used stencils to spread political messages quickly and effectively: against war, for freedom, for equality. The walls became the people's newspapers, the spray can the printing press of resistance.

In the 1980s, stencil art was given a new meaning by artists such as Blek le Rat in Paris and later Banksy in London. Their works showed that protest does not always have to be loud - it can also be whispered, with humor, irony and aesthetic precision.

The Art of Protest continues this tradition in the works of FAKE and L.E.T.. Both artists use templates to question power, break down conformity and provoke thought. Their visual language is powerful, multi-layered and unavoidably political - a reminder that real art still dares to disturb.

The stencil remains what it has always been: the voice of those who want to be heard.
