This book explores street art's contributions to democracy in Latin
America through a comparative study of five cities: Bogota
(Colombia), Sao Paulo (Brazil), Valparaiso (Chile), Oaxaca (Mexico)
and Havana (Cuba). The author argues that when artists invade
public space for the sake of disseminating rage, claims or
statements, they behave as urban citizens who try to raise public
awareness, nurture public debates and hold authorities accountable.
Street art also reveals how public space is governed. When local
authorities try to contain, regulate or repress public space
invasions, they can achieve their goals democratically if they
dialogue with the artists and try to reach a consensus inspired by
a conception of the city as a commons. Under specific conditions,
the book argues, street level democracy and collaborative
governance can overlap, prompting a democratization of democracy.
