Abstract: This systematic literature review explores the impact of mural arts on information and communication, highlighting their significance in conveying social narratives and fostering community engagement. Despite the increasing prevalence of murals as a medium for expression, a comprehensive understanding of their communicative role remains underexplored. After doing more in-depth searches in the Scopus and Web of Science databases, 28 relevant articles were found. These articles covered a wide range of topics, including the historical background, artistic techniques, and social and political effects of mural arts. The analysis emphasizes the artistic and functional dimensions of murals, revealing their effectiveness as tools for information dissemination and public discourse. The findings were divided into three themes, which are (1) mural art conservation and restoration, (2) mural art as a medium for communication, and (3) cultural perspectives and historical contexts of mural art. In conclusion, this literature review shows that mural arts have a big effect on how people think about them, how well they do in school, and how strong their communities are. It also calls for more research to fully understand how they can be used as tools for communication in different cultural settings.
