Abstract

This article analyzes Kika Carvalho's trajectory, exploring her daily life and the questions of identity that permeate her art and private life. Through her graffiti, Kika expresses the construction of a feminine identity, occupying a space historically dominated by men. The study seeks to highlight graffiti as a significant form of sociocultural expression, increasingly present in urban landscapes.
