Art, as one of these tools, contributes to the formation of social and cultural identities. Graffiti, on the other hand, is evaluated in this context as an art that occurs outside and has a wide-ranging content. Within the scope of this thesis titled "Graffiti and Application Example in the Context of Social Communication", the historical process of graffiti, its visibility in public space, the messages it carries and its interactions with the society are examined. In the study, the role of graffiti in social communication was analyzed through works by artists such as Banksy, Lady Pink, Futura 2000, Blek Le Rat and Space Invader. The functionality of graffiti as protest, identity expression and alternative education opportunity has been evaluated beyond its aesthetic dimension. Graffiti applications carried out within the scope of the research have revealed that art can be used effectively as an educational, critical and communicative tool in the public sphere. It has been observed that it provides indirect, direct and participatory interaction with individuals, especially in the context of art education. It has been concluded that graffiti, evaluated within the scope of non-formal education, is in communication with all segments of society.
