Abstract
The geographic space in which San Diego and Tijuana cities are placed is the best to exemplify the continuous economic, cultural, political and even religious exchange that takes place between the bordering regions of US and México. From the cultural point of view, and specifically to writing, this border effect can be confirmed in the graffiti that can be seen in San Diego’s Parque Chicano and in Tijuana’s streets. We can find in both cases examples of graffiti with political content and graffiti done by street gangs. In these artistic displays it is possible to find a huge number of features that prove the mutual influence that exists between the societies of both North-America countries.
