E56 The World of Street Art, The People's Gallery: Leigh Le Roux
About this episode
Khumo interviews Leigh Le Roux about the impact of street art and the challenges artists face in the digital age.
This week on Misunderstood, Khumo has the honour and privilege to sit down with Leigh Le Roux. In this episode, they unpack the power and the impact of art—more specifically, street art. They walk through Leigh’s journey, the struggle through that journey, the barriers of gatekeeping, and the work to be accepted. Furthermore, we unpack how artists use digital media as a means of promoting their work but also potentially as an unselected judge that dictates what is deemed valuable and “real” art. Finally, we round up the discussion by speaking about the importance of collaboration that is formed on trust and not purely based on a transaction through authenticity.
