Summary/Abstract: Contemporary graffiti and street art, as key elements of the urban landscape,play a significant role in shaping social and urban identity. This paper exam-ines the impact of these artistic forms on the perception of urban spaces, em-phasizing their importance for the evolution of urban identity in the contextof a new creativity-based economy. The analysis of the ephemerality of graffitiand street art reveals how encounters with these works in urban spaces can in-terrupt daily routines and increase social awareness, leading to a dynamic rec-ognition and interpretation of urban landscapes.By integrating diverse perspectives from art history to sociology and philos-ophy – this study unveils the complexity of street art’s influence on city lifeand cultural aspects of contemporary societies. Street art, merging various media, new technologies, and sensory stimuli, creates a unique unity in diversi-ty, engaging audiences on both a physical and psychological level. This engage-ment, in both phenomenological dimensions and everyday life, underscoresthe importance of further interdisciplinary research into street art as an inte-gral part of urban culture.
