A INFLUÊNCIA DA ARTE URBANA NA CULTURA CONTEMPORÂNEA

This article analyzes the influence of urban art on contemporary Brazilian culture, focusing on manifestations such as graffiti, muralism, and visual interventions in public spaces. Urban art is understood as a sociocultural practice that articulates aesthetics, politics, and education, contributing to the re-signification of urban territories and collective identities. Methodologically, a qualitative study was conducted based on a systematic literature review following the PRISMA guidelines, with a temporal scope from 2020 to 2025, using national and international scientific databases. The analysis indicates that urban art functions as a tool for cultural democratization, reinforcement of the right to the city, and expansion of critical educational practices, particularly in peripheral contexts. The study concludes that urban art plays a significant role in fostering more inclusive and reflective urban societies.
