Abstract

This article is based on the hypothesis that graffiti and street art can promote community education processes through arts. Although there is specialized literature in this field, it is difficult to find research that evaluates graffiti and street art from an educational perspective. Through visual ethnography, three case studies are presented in which youth people participated, developed in Carmel (Barcelona) as well as Collblanc (L’Hospitalet de Llobregat) neighbourhoods’ in 2014, 2015 and 2016. In particular, the analysis is focused on participation, the relation between processes and communities and the influence of power relationships in this sort of educational actions through arts.
