For that reason, it is considered that it is required to analyze the way by which others, the ones that ignore the style and symbolic codes of graffiti production, think and envision graffiti in the urban space and how they think the city through it. We used the photovoice technique to collect testimonies and the result was a plurality of visions on the images at stake.
