*Pixadores. - A youngster, generally from an underprivileged social background, frequently living under precarious conditions in the outskirts of the city. A pixador uses pixação a form of protest, but at the same time, as a way of expressing his esthetic impulse.
Recently, a group of pixadores (basically graffiti artists) stormed a gallery in Brazil to decry the "marketing, institutionalization and domestication of Street Art" by the galleries and media.
Damn straight, viva la revolution.
