The Multidisciplinary Scope of Graffiti and Street Art in Contemporary Society

Abstract

Graffiti and street art have become a universal, intercultural and multidisciplinary urban phenomenon. The contribution of scientific research has greatly increased the knowledge of this culture which, in turn, has transformed the way we view and socially and culturally participate in the city. The artistic and communicational interventions are studied multidisciplinarly by the different authors, periods and currents of thought, whose contributions are essential for the perception of the evolution and involvement of graffiti and street art in the various sectors of contemporary society.
