15 Best Street Artworks of 2008

With streets, neighborhoods and entire cities increasingly surveilled around the clock by cops, cameras and private security forces, street art has never been so vital. Not surprisingly, it’s also practically impossible in wealthy neighborhoods, so the areas with the richest street culture tend to be the poorest and most officially neglected, a kind of sweet poetic reversal of many racist and classist municipal policies.

With that artful dodging in mind, Streetsy’s year-end list of the Best Street Art of 2008 features inumerable urban canvases, so we here at Listicles have picked out our favorites for the 15 Best Street Artworks of 2008.
