The present work is inserted in analyzing the dynamics of power in the symbolic appropriation of public space by urban artists in Metropolitan Lima. Urban art is an extremely heterogeneous artistic field that invites us to ask ourselves, who can make urban art? Where can you make urban art? On the one hand, it is necessary to recognize the social fracturing, typical of urban inequality in Lima, that promotes and or hinders the use of public spaces by citizens. In this sense, although urban art seeks to be free and for everyone, it ends up being concentrated in certain districts of the city that promote processes of musealization, gentrification, etc. On the one hand, in the history of art, it is necessary to recognize the most renowned artists of urban art such as Banksy and Basquiat. Despite social, temporal and geographical differences, they all share a common gender characteristic. And, although in recent years, many women have been inserted in various artistic spaces in search of breaking the category from muse to artist, there are still very few women who dedicate themselves to street art. This inequality, beyond being treated as a mere inequality in the artistic field, is interrelated with the access and use of the city from a gender perspective. The difference between the use of public and private spaces in the city is based on differences in traditional gender roles. Caring for the home is a task traditionally assigned to women that takes place in a private environment; while men have control and dominance of the public sphere. For this reason, the work of urban artists feminize space from the symbolic appropriation of a historically denied space.
