Skid Robot Creates Awareness on Extreme Poverty Using Street Art
Skid Robot is a Los Angeles-based graffiti artist known for using his art to bring awareness to homelessness and extreme poverty. His journey began with a spontaneous idea to paint people experiencing homelessness as dreaming of money, sparking a larger movement.
His artwork “Birdman” even caught the attention of Mayor Eric Garcetti, leading to significant policy change. Skid Robot’s mission is to challenge social and economic injustices through his thought-provoking street art.
