Subverting media messages at street level | Foka Wolf | TEDxLeamingtonSpa

Subverting media messages at street level | Foka Wolf | TEDxLeamingtonSpa In an era of ‘fake news’ it’s crucial that we challenge disinformation more than ever. Foka Wolf explores how street art can be used as a platform to poke fun at the media messages we are bombarded with every day and how it can be used to spread positivity. Subversive street artist Foka Wolf has been pasting their art on the streets for over a decade. Their subject matter ranges from cartoons to celebrities, gory heads to thumbs up, but their most recognisable works are their joke adverts.

Foka’s advertising agency has covered subjects including forehead extension and rent-a-curse, tackling both comedy and serious social and political commentary.

Their work has been featured in the Metro, Time Out and BBC News, amongst many others. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at
