Does urban graffiti hold sociological value? Is it an artistic phenomenon or an act of vandalism? This article aims to analyze one of the main manifestations that characterize the art and artistic expressions of our cities, through a revision of international sociological literature on the subject. The study shows that graffiti is not the expression of a single civilization, but rather a phenomenon tied to human presence which has always existed, from caverns to modern metropolitan areas.
