Role of Graffiti

As a social expression way, Graffiti is a movement or cultural manifestation reflecting the needs of exposing the vulnerability phenomena happening in the world. National identity affects directly the visual results of this kind of expression. At countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Colombia or Honduras, Graffiti is a common phenomenon in which disagreement ideologies related to national events is the common denominator.

In the case of Argentina, Graffiti is one of the common artistic alternatives that are not regulated. Society use this as a way to express feelings, emotions, thoughts relates with the art and in the same time is a social revolutionary movement that create an identity and try to expose the problems that affect to excluded populations.

Graffiti in Honduras reflect the violence in the society. Taking into account the article, Tegucigalpa is one of the world's deadliest cities, "every 87 minutes someone dies in Honduras from a firearm, and there are over 650,000 illegal weapons” Maeztro tells Al Jazeera. People try to highlight the problem through paint.

Graffiti in Colombia is used in the most cases for show disagree and uncomfortable against to government system. The graffiteros in Colombia are always being making criticism politics rules, politics decisions that the presidents and his personnel take. In Bogotá for example which is a big city with more than 8 million of habitant, there are many of them that are not allowed to participate in some activities. The reason is because these activities are reserved to high class. In these cases, the graffiti is used by minorities like non verbal expressions to communicate exclusion. 

According To Vitché (2012) the graffiti in Brazil are influenced by the political climate and corruption. But all years many people from different places of the country and America go to see thin kind of cultural expression.

We can see that the predominant fact in which is based  (talk about compare with Northern Africa…) that people protest around the world by different form, in Africa bloggers are very popular between the society and are a form to disagree with the state, this situation is similarly to America in which people disagree with the government expressing their imagination through the walls.
