Conclusion: Definition of Graffiti with my
words
Graffiti has a long and proud history. The subculture surrounding graffiti has existed for several decades, and it's still
going strong. The graffiti artists (or "writers" as they prefer to call themselves) are passionate, skilled, communityoriented, and socially conscious in ways that profoundly contradict the way they've been portrayed as common
criminals and vandals.
In the following pages, we will look at the history of this thriving subculture.

Vandalism is usually seen as a
quality of life issue. When an area
has extensive graffiti, people tend
to view it as a "bad neighborhood."
Nearby property value may
decrease and crime may increase.
Plus, residents see graffiti as an
eyesore. Graffiti that is gangrelated or expresses hateful
sentiments is most likely to be
unwelcome in an area.

Graffiti in Brazil
The history of Graffiti in Brazil emerged in the 70s, precisely in the city of So Paulo,
troubled time in the history of Brazil, silenced by censorship with the arrival of the
military in power.
In parallel to the movement that was rising in New York, graffiti appears in the
scenario of Brazilian metropolis as a transgressive art, street language, marginality,
not excuses and crying on city walls disturbance of a generation.
From this, the art of graffiti becomes an important vehicle for urban communication,
supporting in some way, the existence of other voices, other historical subjects and
active participating in the city.
So from the 70s in Brazil, graffiti artists have appropriated the public space in
order to transmit political nature of messages, social, cultural, humanitarian and,
above all, artistic. Thus art then, becomes not only seen in museums or cultural
centers, but especially on street walls, in tunnels, in city buildings
