Portrait of Hoodwink

Hoodwink

Hoodwink is a contemporary art collective formed in the early 2010s, known for its provocative installations that blur the line between urban intervention and gallery exhibition. Originating from the underground street art scene of London, Hoodwink’s anonymous members merge graffiti aesthetics with conceptual art, reclaiming public space as a canvas for social critique. Their works often employ wit, illusion, and critical commentary on surveillance, consumer culture, and the invisibility of marginalized voices.

With a practice spanning murals, site-specific interventions, and interactive performances, Hoodwink has exhibited internationally in institutions such as the Tate Modern, Palais de Tokyo, and the Brooklyn Museum, while also maintaining a subversive presence through ephemeral street pieces. Refusing to reveal individual identities, the collective cultivates an aura of mystery and defiance, inviting audiences to question art’s place in both public and institutional domains. Hoodwink continues to innovate at the intersection of activism and aesthetics, challenging viewers to rethink visibility, authorship, and the narratives inscribed on our urban landscapes.
