Graffiti - a emoção expressa em tintas: etnografia dos murais de graffiti no centro urbano da cidade de Guarabira - PB

Abstract

The present work analyzes Graffiti in the urban center of the city of Guarabira, in the state of Paraíba, northeast region of Brazil. Its objective is to highlight graffiti as an urban art that expresses subjectivity. Through bibliographic research, photographs and interviews, a survey was carried out of the subjective perception of some graffiti artists in relation to their affinity with graffiti and how street art plays a social, political and cultural artistic movement. It is intended to understand how the classic concept of art influences the prejudice about the understanding of graffiti as art, and with that, the feeling of abandonment of cultural public policies aimed at the practice of graffiti in order to beautify the city. The research was carried out in the light of urban anthropology and the anthropology of art as guiding disciplines for understanding the social relationship of art as an object of cultural production of certain social groups
