Title The City and its Walls: Street Art, Graffiti and the Re-invention of Public Space in Yerevan
Summary The thesis aims to cover the diversity of street art and graffiti in Yerevan as the most populated city and the capital of Armenia. By looking at the variety of works including the explicit political texts on the walls of National Assembly building cleaned in hours up to the character drawings in the outskirts of the city, the research seeks to answer the question of how the public space within urban context of Yerevan is re-invented through the agency of street artists and graffiti writers.
