Nowadays, when we want to see a work of street art, we do not necessarily need to go walk around a city to find paintings on walls, we can just visit one place - an art gallery or a museum - and find what we are looking for. In fact, this is because graffiti and street art have gained increasing recognition within art institutions. Even though this artistic style is substantially more common outdoors, its conception between exhibiting this style of art both indoors and outdoors developed in parallel, despite it being considered vandalism. As proof of this long history, we know that it was in the late seventies that the first galleries exposed graffiti in the USA, propagating this trend to Europe later. In this context, in Portugal, crews of writers were created, and began to show a desire to bring this art-form from the street to interior spaces. However, when we speak of street art, or with street artists, we find that there is always a duality between these styles of artistic exhibition (on the street and in the art gallery), and that these two contexts, exterior and interior, raise questions about the artistic conception from these authors’ point of view. The creation of public and private organizations and platforms has given graffiti and street art the opportunity to enter legal and institutional contexts, whether on the street or in the art gallery, and to include them officially in the art world much more easily. In this dissertation, the concept of street art is studied, offering an overview of the graffiti and street art exhibitions held since the 1970s. In addition, three Portuguese street artists are interviewed, considering their visions and dualities about the presentation of their art in both the interior and exterior contexts
