Abstract "Looking specifically at the Mexican city of León, in Guanajuato, the book shows graffiti as a contested tool for "voicing" public demands. It considers the changing perceptions and recognition of graffiti artists, their right to the city, and the use of public space from 2000 to 2018. Bruce studies the history of independent graffiti and state-sanctioned graffiti art to claim that its institutionalization creates tensions in the social relationships inside artist collectives, and fluctuating ideas about urban art, creative labor, and neoliberal entrepreneurship"-- Provided by publisher.
