Most recent answer

I took a class on Russian/Soviet art history as an undergraduate at Berkeley. I can't remember now for certain who the lecturer was, but this might have been her, if you want to see if you can contact her... she specialises in Russian/Soviet era art history. http://www.arthistory.northwestern.edu/faculty/christina-kiaer.html

Art of the Soviet Era and Communist Art are different things. There was a strong stream expressing and supporting political propaganda of the era; there were artworks expressing search and honest believes of the artists; there were streams indifferent to the state ideology; there were experiments and underground art... What exactly or about whom would you like to know?

Street art is a low cost tool for urban regeneration/redevelopment inclusive of all stakeholders of a community or city as it can alter public perceptions and is a separation of art form and crime.
Since urban regeneration is a process and an outcome, street art can be a key driver in urban regeneration/redevelopment. Therefore, I believe street art can successfully assist and encourage urban regeneration of cities, places and communities. This is viewed as physical, economical and social drivers to successfully implement and transform changes to underprivileged places and communities in order to reinvent, rejuvenate, occupy the city, building, urban space and community via adopting new life, improved quality of life, urban beautification, community participation, pedestrian networks, economic advancement and a cultural and lively community/city.
Some prime examples of this is:
   - Hoiser Lane / Melbourne, Australia
   - PowerHouse / Geelong, Australia
   - Rio Cruzeiro Favela Painting project / Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
   - Philly Painting project / Philadelphia, USA
I would like to understand your view to this and even your added information that may assist this idea of street art and urban regeneration. Feel free to add to the list of examples above.
