Abstract
This paper, guided by Vigotski`s and Bakhtin`s framework, discuss the individual and collective dimensions of street art reXistances, based on semi-structured interviews with members of two Amazonian collectives: a promoter of Rap battles and a promoter of wheat paste street posters (lambe-lambe) in the city of Porto Velho (State of Rondônia, Brazil). In both groups there are contradictions between community and individualistic logics, local and global, logics prevailing in our society and in the search for the construction of an Amazonian artistic identity. New forms of search for the public and the common in contemporary times are highlighted too, in which occur a transformation of the street in a contemplation and sharing space of the diverse and the divergence, the aesthetic/political experience and, therefore, the intensity of feeling with the other, of being affected, thinking, rediscovering the past, getting a glimpse of the future and transforming oneself. An insistent art of resisting in order to exist in the Amazon also stands out.
