Arte do Grafite, Uma Mediação Entre Corpo e Espaço

Abstract

This Final Undergraduate Project (TCC) addresses graffiti as a form of mediation between body and space, highlighting its relevance as an artistic, social, political, and pedagogical manifestation. Based on an autobiographical narrative, the author analyzes his personal journey with urban art, demonstrating how graffiti has been essential in building his identity and developing educational projects focused on anti-racist education. The research adopts a qualitative and interpretative approach, grounded in theoretical frameworks such as Albuquerque (2022), Fanon (2008), and hooks (2013), to discuss graffiti as a tool for resistance, inclusion, and social transformation. The study explores the different styles, techniques, and languages of graffiti, emphasizing its ability to occupy urban spaces with messages of resistance and belonging, while fostering critical and emancipatory education. Throughout the work, experiences in workshops, extension projects, cultural events, and artistic interventions are reported, where the artist's body is presented as an instrument of expression and mediation with the public. The study reinforces graffiti as a pedagogical practice capable of stimulating creativity, citizenship, and social protagonism, promoting a critical reading of the world and contributing to the construction of a more just and egalitarian society.
