O artigo argumenta que a arte urbana participa das lutas sociais em torno dos modos como a cidade é percebida, utilizada e representada. Nesse sentido, sustenta que o significado político da street art depende das circunstâncias de sua produção, de sua localização, das pessoas que entram em contato com ela, das instituições e forças econômicas que moldam sua recepção. Uma obra pública pode interromper uma ordem visual estabelecida, mas seus significados podem se modificar quando ela é: removida, disseminada na internet, incorporada a um programa cultural ou utilizada para promover um bairro. Esses processos não são necessariamente excludentes. Uma mesma obra pode constituir uma forma significativa de expressão política e, posteriormente, passar a integrar a imagem por meio da qual uma cidade se promove turisticamente. A discussão aborda quatro dimensões relacionadas a esta problemática: a organização urbana da visibilidade; a arte urbana como uso tático do espaço; a incorporação da street art ao desenvolvimento urbano e à cultura do comércio; e seu papel nos movimentos sociais. Essas dimensões são examinadas como condições que se entrecruzam, e não como histórias separadas, a fim de demonstrar com maior clareza porque a política da arte urbana está necessariamente vinculada às relações entre intervenção estética, controle do espaço urbano e desigualdades na distribuição dos recursos urbanos.
