About The Author
Jr
French artist JR transforms streets into open-air galleries with his monumental black-and-white photographic collages. Blending art, activism, and community, his global projects—like Inside Out, The Chronicles of New York City, and Ellis Island’s Unframed—turn public spaces into stages for untold stories. Collaborating with locals, he’s pasted portraits on favelas, conflict zones, and even the Louvre. His work crosses into film (Visages, Villages, co-directed with Agnès Varda) and large-scale spectacles (Rio Olympics, Paris’ Pyramid). With a mix of poetry and protest, JR makes art that’s both ephemeral and unforgettable—always asking: Can art change the world?
