Resum

En aquest article analitze la creació d’un tour per a runners que mostra l’art del grafit per encàrrec (o art urbà) a León, Guanajuato, Mèxic. Fundats el 2017, els recorreguts són part d’un canvi econòmic i cultural molt gran que allunya la ciutat de les seues arrels agrícoles i industrials. Des de la dècada dels 90, León ha buscat l’estatus de ciutat global sense deixar d’intentar reivindicar connexions amb la tradició. Pràctiques creatives com l’art urbà ajuden a cultivar una imatge urbana atractiva. Argumente que els recorreguts fan destacar tres temes al bell mig tant del debat de les ciutats creatives com dels desafiaments i les friccions que hi ha en la institucionalització del grafit: mobilitat, efimeritat i economia.
