“…The city is divided into 48 different barrios (neighborhoods) that have different aesthetic, cultural, and economic characters. First and foremost a port city, its strategic location on the mouth of the Río Plata can explain the mix of cultural influences and immigration patterns (European and Latin American) that have gradually constructed its foundation and identity (Gorelik 2009). Walking through the streets of Buenos Aires today, one immediately notices the chaotic energy that charges the atmosphere with an air of unpredictability.…”

This thesis project would not have been possible without the assistance and support of so many incredible people. I see this thesis as the culmination of knowledge and skills acquired throughout my experience as a Sociology major at Wesleyan, so to all the professors of the department, thank you for inspiring me to attempt my own social research. I must especially thank my thesis advisor, Professor Mary Ann Clawson for supporting me from the moment I handed her my research proposal. Your feedback and advice throughout the entire writing process has been invaluable, and your constant encouragement has helped me more than you know. I could not have completed my research this summer without the assistance of the Davenport Grant and the Davenport Committee.To my dear friends in Buenos Aires, Fer and Caro, muchísimas gracias por todo-por dejarme vivir con ustedes y por ayudarme hallar mi coraje (gracias Caro por tu presencia durante algunas entrevistas!). To all of the artists, photographer, bloggers, and members of the street art communities that graciously let me into their world-your words, stories, and insights are what have made this thesis special. I must also mention that the street art of both New York City and Buenos Aires has been my most reliable source of inspiration.Last but not least I need to thank my family, friends, and peers at Wesleyan. Thank you for encouraging me when I was overwhelmed, and thank you-Heran, Mel, Sydney and Anna-for indulging me with spontaneous silly moments and dance parties when I needed stress release. And Sam, I could honestly not have made it through this process without you.
