Abstract

The flourishing of graffiti culture in modern cities is a multidimensional phenomenon with a complex socio-cultural, artistic and historical genesis. This article attempts to contrast an analysis of the graffiti phenomenon as an organic element of the urban environment with a point of view of mere art history, and to examine the visual narrative of graffiti through the prism of urban poetics in the context of urban everyday life and social communication practices.
