Graffiti in Latin America has become established as a means of resistance and denunciation. Many urban artists address issues such as police violence, inequality, racism, femicides, extractivism, and corruption.

The streets become spaces of collective memory and visual protest. Murals and graffiti function as living archives that challenge power structures and amplify marginalized voices.
Visual activism is also linked to feminist, environmental, and Indigenous movements.

In several cities, graffiti has gone from being criminalized to being recognized as cultural heritage.
