This research is about finding out how the view of graffiti have shifted from being offensive to an artistic quality form in the public room. For a long time in Sweden, specifically in Stockholm, the policy of “nolltoleransen” have had its grip over graffiti. With the policy, the politicians forbid illegal graffiti by using inforced policing and frequent decontamination of graffiti. This policy however had little to no success, and by the year of 2014 the politicians made the decisions to redraw this policy and go for a more acceptable approach towards the art form. During the same year, lager cities, such as Malmö and Borås engaged in streetart event, in which lage mural paintings was put up to decorate facades all around the involved cities. The question still remains however, is this quality? Who is in the right to claim something of the art is artistic quality? Is it the politicians, or is it the organisations working within the field or is it the artists themselves?
