The following paper presents an attempt at a semiotic analysis of socially and politically-oriented street art in the capital of Chile. Based on Charles Sanders Peirce’s theory of semiotics, Siegfried J. Schmidt’s constructivist communication theory, and using the methods of semiotic and discursive analysis by Gillian Rose, a reconstruction of the semantics of murals has been made. Murals are treated here as specific semiotic codes and are linked with social-political-ideological aspects. As a reference point, a mural has been chosen as a communication tool which is typical of Latin America, and also the codes typical in this area, which resulted from previous analyses.
