Abstract
In this project, I questioned whether graffiti and street art might work as identity-building factors in the region. Starting points for the investigation was metropolitan region Bergen and Bergen municipality's plan of action for graffiti and street art. The method I chose for this investigation was participant observation. For analysis of the relationship between regional identity and graffiti and street art, I applied Ida Bulls definition of identity region based on heterogeneity. I have found that partly as a result of the council's action, the region has de-veloped a sense of ownership towards the field, with particular emphasis on the ex-pression stencil paintings. Ownership of the city's visual expression equivalent to ownership to other identity markers, such as Bergen Fish Market or the culture of exchanging goods and services between the city and neighboring municipalities. Moreover, I have described how the plan of action and the business sector’s interest in the field have challenged graffiti and street art, and how the consequences for these communities' identity have been both strengthened and weakened in the process.
 
I dette prosjektet har jeg stilt spørsmål om graffiti og streetart kan virke identitetsskapende i en region. Utgangspunktene for undersøkelsen har vært storbyregionen Bergen og Bergen kommunes handlingsplan for graffiti og gatekunst. Metoden har vært deltakende observasjon. For analyse av forholdet mellom regional identitet og feltet graffiti og gatekunst har jeg lagt til grunn Ida Bulls definisjon av identitetsregion basert på heterogenitet. Jeg har funnet at delvis som følge av kommunens hanglingsplan har regionen utviklet et eierskap for feltet, særlig med vekt på uttrykket sjablongmaleri. Eierskap til byens visuelle uttrykk kan sidestilles med eierskap til andre identitetsmarkører, som Bergens fisketorg eller kulturen for utveksling av varer og tjenester mellom byen og omlandskommunene. Videre har jeg skildret hvordan handlingsplanen og næringslivets interesse for feltet har utfordret graffiti og streetart, og at konsekvensene for miljøenes egen identitet har blitt både styrket og svekket i denne prosessen.
