Nothing is forever: an essay on the urban arts of Miguel Januário±MaisMenos±

Abstract In this article we intend to analyze Miguel Januário’s politically engaged artistic interventions, in the last decade, characterized by the seriousness of a severe economic, financial and social crisis in Portugal. The work presented here underlies a purpose based on a primordial heuristic principle: to demonstrate that street art is a matter and object of social intervention, demarcating a specific space in the denunciation and revelation of social issues; also, multiplying and questioning, thus, the forms and contents of the urban arts.

摘要 本文旨在剖析米格尔·雅努阿里奥（Miguel Januário）近十年来的政治介入式艺术实践。彼时葡萄牙正深陷严峻的经济、金融与社会危机，其创作以此为核心语境展开。本文所探讨的其艺术创作，核心旨趣基于一项基础性的启发式原则：旨在论证街头艺术是社会介入的载体与对象，在批判与揭露社会问题的进程中划定了专属的话语空间；同时亦不断拓展并反思城市艺术的形式与内涵。
