Through the analysis of graffiti on the Island of São Vicente, the heart of Baixada Santista in the State of São Paulo, we will present an archaeological perspective on the Pixo Movement, which operates illegally, transgressing the landscape of the Island. To understand this occupation of the periphery through the actions of these groups and their transgression of the landscape, approaches frequently used in Landscape and Urban Archaeology studies were used, seeking to understand the relationship between humans and their occupation and the significance of public spaces. As a research method, we approached these graffiti, their supports, and their insertion into the landscape, using methodologies for recording and researching Rock Art. Through these analyses, we aim to better understand how these transgressions were organized in urban spaces, including the territories, privileged locations, rules, and spatial dispersion of these groups in the cities of Santos and São Vicente.
