Could art change the world?
JR is a street artist from France. His friend called him and said he should try to "change the world, not save it", and that got him thinking.
He spent his teenage years doing art in the streets as a way to leave his mark. Then he got a camera, and started to use his prints as a sort of graffiti.
Riots began to break out in Paris, and he decided to try and use his photography/graffiti as a way to change. When the government began to show and appreciate his work, he realized "the power of paper and glue".
