Pixação, Graffiti, Rap and the Remaking of Public Space
Muros, vallas, enclaves fortificados, grafitis y pichações configuran un tipo de espacio público en el que los signos de desigualdad y tensión social son inconfundibles. Gestos de abandono de lo público en favor de espacios privados y protegidos coexisten con gestos que se reapropian transgresivamente de lo público para inscribir marcas que expresan la desigualdad social. En este contexto, sin embargo, las tensiones y desigualdades sociales no se expresan ni se negocian en los lenguajes políticos convencionales.
Walls, fences, fortified enclaves, graffiti and pichações configure a certain kind of public space in which signs of inequality and social tension are unmistakable. Gestures of abandonment of the public in favor of private and protected spaces coexist with gestures that transgressively reappropriate the public to inscribe marks that express social inequality. In this context, however, social tensions and inequalities are not expressed and negotiated in conventional political languages.
