Abstract
Summing up on the streets of Porto Alegre, we are confronted with many messages directed at women, talking about feminist struggle, lesbian visibility, violence against women, empowerment, etc. These words are painted, chopped, glued, in walls, walls, poles and buildings in a way of making politics that mix with urban art. In this article, I invest in women who use urban space as a canvas to pass their message. By diverting from the standard standard, where the dominance of the eye and public space is assumed to be male, I talk about the visual and artistic production of militance related to greeting issues and as this is reflected in the occupation of the streets. From photographic observation and cataloguing of messages and interviews with artists, I look into feminist activism tactics related to artistic work and the occupation of the city by female bodies.
