Throughout history, art has been a catalyst of socio-political change. It offers a medium to represent experiences and aspirations, to make people aware of issues, and to ask questions. Harnessing the Banksy tradition of art, street artist Tyler has brought ‘Indian Banksy’ to the streets of Mumbai.

Since dissent is met with legal repercussions in the country today, Tyler takes a masked approach to conceal his identity.

Tyler has been challenging the system and society through art since 2015, but he shot to fame in August 2020 with his project called ‘Walk of Shame.’
