Here is a report from the trenches on the most exciting and original graffiti scene to emerge in the past decade. From extraordinary creative extremes generated amidst urban deprivation to crafted murals at their most elaborate, Graffiti Brasil offers both stunning photography and in-depth history and insight from world authorities on the subject.

From juggernauts like hip-hop and punk to much smaller but equally inspiring subcultures endemic to the streets of the Brazilian mega-cities, South African townships and the crowds of Mumbai, this book documents it all.

Using a rotating cast of symbols that include warhorses, slave ships, swarms of birds, Masonic pyramids, stunned elephants, stripped forests and more, this work presents themes such as class inequality, blind consumerism, militarism, and ecological waste. Rendering scenes that are both socially aware and critical, it also features 4 essays.
