This study evaluates an intervention of graffiti workshops with teenagers who had their liberty restricted by socio-educative measures inside a Socio-educative Center in Florianopolis (Brazil). The workshops attempted to promote an artistic intervention, a space for expression, strengthening the bonds and the ethical-esthetical-political growth of the teenagers. Six meetings were made with two groups (the female, and the male ward) with 5 to 15 teenagers (13 to 18 years old), as well as meetings with the technical team and the socio-educative agents. Afterwards, focal groups were conducted with the participants, with analysis of the subject theme and discussions with the field journey being made. The results pointed at contribution for the socio-educative character of the measure, coherent with the Brazilian code for the child and teenager, because there were positive opinions, the teenagers protagonism, as well as reflexions about ethics and the dynamics of the Center.

Keywords : teenager in conflict with the law; urban art; ethics; socioeducative measures.
