The street used to be the face of the city we live in. In the past ten years, part of its role has shifted towards the Internet. The Arab Spring, dubbed the Twitter revolution, brought hope that this digital street would make up for the limitations of its physical counterpart.

However, the system backlashed. Egypt, Syria and recently Thailand have proved that as long as governments will control the Internet, digital activism will struggle. There is a need to readjust the physical and the digital for the future of activism.

Streettoolbox is a collaborative platform providing instructions for making new physical/digital tools exploring the multitude of creative opportunities that our urban environment offers. Activists and street artists contribute by sharing their feedback on the tools or uploading new projects.

Our target is you. Chances are we’ll disrupt your daily life, making you aware of issues that can’t afford the advertisement price tag.

Streettoolbox is a celebration of the chaotic beauty of our concrete jungle. It represents a new creative resistance against the ubiquitous consumerist culture of today.
