Rebel Walls

Graffiti writing in Naples serves as a powerful visual form of protest, addressing pressing social issues such as the right to housing amid gentrification pressures. The study reveals how this practice transforms urban walls into spaces of resistance and sociocultural affirmation, creating a bottom-up urban discourse that challenges traditional narratives. By analyzing graffiti's role in expressing identity and critiquing transformational pressures, the research demonstrates its potential as an alternative tool for communication and struggle. The findings highlight graffiti's significance in preserving Naples' cultural identity while making visible conflicts often ignored by regulatory frameworks.
