Graffiti: art enhancing or denigrating architectural monuments and the city?

Nowadays, buildings considered to be historic heritage are not under the eyes of new generations, which would result in falling them into oblivion and being several times damaged by spray-painted signatures: vandalisms since they are forbidden by the law.

Actualmente, los edificios considerados patrimonio histórico no están en la atención de las nuevas generaciones. Esto da pie a que sean olvidados y muchas veces violentados con firmas hechas con spray —actos vandálicos, puesto que están prohibidos por la ley—. Pero el grafiti no solo involucra este tipo de firmas “hechas a la mala”; por ejemplo, también incluye los murales artísticos, una práctica que evoca un mensaje para el transeúnte, pero con un carácter más profesional. El presente artículo busca encontrar una manera de que ambas obras de arte —el patrimonio histórico y los grafitis— alcancen una relación armoniosa y sean complementarias. Para lograrlo, es necesario crear una serie de parámetros que regulen la intervención artística. Universidad de Lima.
