April 25th × 50 years of writing in the city

Abstract: “In this article, we aim to revisit one of the privileged places for citizens’ expression – the street and urban public space – based on the legacy of graffiti and murals created during the Portuguese revolutionary period of April 25th, 1974. We reflect on the historical memory of the revolution and how periodically in the country, there has been a recovery of its political-aesthetic repertoire. With this context as the object of study, we contemplate the form of citizen participation and the role of public space as a fundamental terrain for political communication and democratic living, discussing aspects of visuality and political performativity.”
