Title Kyiv Graffiti: Production of Space in Post-Soviet City
Summary This paper examines Kyiv graffiti as a convergence of global and local, general and particular, structurally determined and structure-challenging. Each single piece of graffiti is linked with the outer world on many levels: it designates certain surface, street, neighborhood, city and region. Along these lines graffiti brings together concrete physical place and different types of bigger scale places and spaces. Standing on this initial point the paper explores how Kyiv graffiti is distributed in space and what social meaning this distribution contains. It also shows how urban space is perceived and challenged by graffiti and how graffiti itself has changed under the influence of recent spatial transformations.
