STREET ART STORIES
I write about street art that sends a message (be it political, environmental, optimistic, on current affairs, etc). I've covered murals, stencils, posters, stickers, festivals, books and more -- from artistic takes on the coronavirus pandemic and the vaccines to Black Lives Matter protests and Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Produced or seen something that might make a story? Pitch me via lee.moran@huffpost.com or follow and DM me on Instagram.
