The Critical Visual Analysis of Graffiti on Public Transportation in Punjabi, Pakistani Culture

Graffiti is a very strong way of expressing, resisting, promoting, criticizing, and catharsis. As a tool of expression, this can be used to raise socio-economic issues existing around us. This study reveals the importance of graffiti as a tool for expressing the significant issues of our society, specifically those in Pakistani Punjab. This paper collected a total of 16 images, further divided into two parts; the first part contains all images to reveal the very nature of graffiti as a tool to protest, criticise, and complain against social inequalities and social issues. On the other hand, the second sphere of collected images contains those images which are an expressive form of promoting gender stereotypes, racism, class conflict, and so on. Hence one can see how beautifully graffiti is working on both types as a tool of resistance and also as a medium of promotion.
