Veias de spray: o movimento artístico do graffiti em Belém do Pará (1980-1999)

Abstract

As we walk around the city every day, multiple stimuli are heard and felt. These stimuli can be present in different ways, whether through sounds, noises or visually through records of human presence in this space. Graffiti becomes one of these stimuli, which are consumed daily by the various individuals who create the urban landscape of a city in their social interactions. Bearing in mind the importance and constant presence of graffiti and pixação in the urban scene of Belém, the question was: do these movements constitute sociocultural products, which contributed to the individual and collective identity formation of certain groups, reflecting on the social dynamics of domination of spaces in the urban scenario of the city of Belém, during the 1980s and 1990s? This research was developed through three movements, bibliographical and source research, interviews and finally, the writing of this dissertation, which is divided into three parts, the first two are subdivided into topics which contextualized the theme in question, the last part, presents the position of the researcher. Therefore, we emphasize that the movement analyzed in this research falls within the field of urban art, integrating itself into the landscape of a city, exposing existences and tensions present in the social fabric.
