Street is Ours brings to the table our belief that today the political struggle is also a cultural battle, and that therefore the field of perception is a battlefield. In a city besieged by hegemonic meanings (represented mainly on advertising street) to believe that the struggle at this level is strategic and complicates the political scene. Attack certain meanings inscribed in advertising as a philosophy of capitalism, show your absurd logic, schizophrenia, discusses the legitimacy of the system while proposing a counter-logic construction.

Work from art and culture for us radical political struggle, because politicized spaces that are not, and it updates the creative and revolutionary power of the political dispute, the evidence that no control is installed even without a dispute of subjectivity and interpellation of meanings and practices that go through the daily struggle. In this regard the dispute strengthens social movements, not because they contribute "tools" but because the proper way of doing politics of social movements culture serves as a structural dimension.
