Brandalism is an international collective of artists who challenge corporate power, greed and corruption around the world.
They are against all corporate logic, today’s economic and financial market and everything it represents.

In January 2020, 41 artists launched Australia’s largest unauthorized art campaign in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, in the wake of devastating fires and inaction over the climate crisis, we have talked about it here.

Now Brandalism is back again with their unique style on the streets of Bristol, Birmingham, Cardiff, Leeds, London and Exete. They have installed over 100 parody car billboards on billboards and bus stops in England and Wales. The artists have spared no brand, from Range Rover, Ford, Volkswagen, BMW, Citroen to Lamborghini, every car is brutally criticized for its environmental impact.

We need a cultural change that takes us away from cars, that takes us away from all this unwanted smog and pollution.

“Car adverts promote private car ownership as a status symbol. Themes of power, success and social status are mixed with exotic locations and empty roads to promote a myth of freedom and mobility. The resulting problems of traffic congestion, worsening air pollution and climate breakdown are left out of these glitzy ads.

Over 30 international artists including Paul Insect, Jimmy Cauty, street artist Dr.D, Fokawolf, satirist Darren Cullen, Matt Bonner and Michelle Tylicki have created 45 different drawings for Brandalism.
