The article addresses political graffiti in Ljubljana, which are interesting in an ethnological or cultural anthropological sense, in particular as a reflection of current social developments. It presents an analysis of collected graffiti with diverse social and political contents and describes their characteristics in terms of contents and forms, as well as their connections with current social issues. It then explains the graffiti in relation to the ideological goals of socio-political or activist groups, who advance social change by means of graffiti as a medium for intervention and communication. The article also presents the statements of three members of subpolitical or activist groups, who complement their activities in these groups with writing graffiti. Using concrete examples, the article then describes the characteristics of such production and its essence.
