Creative Freedom and Protection: The Business of Street Art #53 – with Szabotage
About this episode
The episode discusses the intersection of street art, intellectual property, and brand building with guests Gustav Szabo and Hannah Smith.
In this episode of IP Stories , we sit down with Gustav Szabo — known as Szabotage — and Hannah Smith, the creative duo behind the contemporary street art brand Szabotage. Together, they share how they transformed a passion for street art into a distinctive global brand, navigating the balance between artistic freedom and commercial growth. We explore how intellectual property plays a role in protecting creative work in a fast-moving, highly visual world, the challenges of maintaining authenticity while scaling a brand, and how artists can take control of their creations in an era of digital exposure and reproduction. A must-listen for artists, creatives, entrepreneurs, and anyone interested in how IP intersects with art, identity, and brand building.
