    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on various art forms like graffiti, street theatre and light shows, used in the Occupy movement to express unambiguous political messages. Journalist Paul Mason says that with the use of huge amount of art works in the Occupy movement, one can say that a new Occupy style of art or a tangible artistic movement is emerging, and it may be an end of the contemporary art. The article also presents several photographs of the Canadian Occupy movement to show its creativity.
