Graffiti´s impact on Latin America

Graffiti is considered a form of urban art available to any public with high social impact. This is a way to show publicly  political, religious or social ideology.

Latin America is experiencing a boom in contemporary graffiti. The characteristics of this urban art is admirable in Colombia, Brazil and Honduras and Argentina. However, in my opinion, the graffiti in Brazil have a greater social impact because  expressed a criticism of national economic and political system, achieving to be seen as by government as by citizens. Thus, it is a way to create social awareness and claim rights to the state.

In addition to entertain and decorate the streets, art in the city is a way of communication with political, cultural and protests content.
