"Graffiti: emerger a un mundo fascinante a través de las paredes"

Abstract

Graffiti or street art has taken a strong impulse among emerging artists, making the streets and walls their canvases to manifest and express their creativity, imagination and even situations related to their social, political and cultural ideology.Becoming a vocation that goes beyond the creativity and firmness of the artist, with this, over the years, street artists have given themselves the task of restoring the gaze that has developed in the face of this practice. From this work of creation - documentary video, the artistic work of a 17-year-old boy is visible, taking into account that this piece of work focuses from a point of view of Human Development. Key concepts for its process are covered such as: Graffiti, Human Development, memory, identity and perception, which are combined to give a transforming and perspective look to street art, moving away from the stereotypes and social imaginaries which it has been related with. Finally, the methodology implemented for the development of the research object is suggested, allowing an approach to this cultural phenomenon in a systematic and participatory way; traveling through its space, time, stickers, brush and canvases where VAGO's creative process is reflected. In this way, an understanding and reflection on this artistic phenomenon called graffiti is established.
