Have you ever heard of an Urban Artist's Academy? I was delighted to have a chat with the lovely ATILA - A talented artist, educator and inspiring workshop facilitator who has turned his passion for art and graffiti into a powerful tool for developing self expression and transformation in others.
In this chat you'll hear about about ATILA's work with young offenders and students with special needs and discuss his transition from teaching English to leading art workshops across the UK that has paved the way for meaningful change in the lives of many. ATILA tells us about his early days captivated by the vibrant graffiti and street art in London and Europe through to co-founding the Urban Artist Academy, and shares how art can be a therapeutic outlet and a conduit for self-expression.

ATILA's story really spotlights the pivotal role of mentorship and the power of art to instil a sense of ownership and pride. Through art, he champions the idea of fostering community and helping others.

We also chat about the societal perceptions of graffiti versus street art, discussing the complexities and contradictions that street artists navigate daily. This episode is one for anybody who wants to embrace their creative side, and is a reminder that failure is not a setback but a lesson and ultimately a stepping stone to success.
This is a really special chat. Whether you're an aspiring artist or someone seeking inspiration, this episode promises to get you inspired to create and encourages you to leave your mark on the world.
