Keith Haring: Street Art Boy is a striking documentary that weaves together the art, activism, and queer culture of the 1980s. The film tells the story of iconic artist Keith Haring, capturing the impact of his work through his own words and the testimonies of those who knew him closely. From his chalk drawings on New York City subway walls to his use of art as a tool in the fight against the AIDS crisis, the documentary traces Haring’s creative journey in full. His energy, political stance, and passion for equality made him not only an artist but also a public figure and activist. Enriched with archival footage and audio recordings, Street Art Boy transforms Haring’s short but powerful life into a compelling narrative at the intersection of queer resistance and public art.
