Tasakko’ (تســّكع): The Politics of Street Art in AmmanTassako’ analyzes street art in Amman as a site of political struggle, tracing its evolution under neoliberal economic policies and cultural diplomacy. Using Michel De Certeau’s Practice of Everyday Life, Tasakko’ studies how street art shifted from a subversive "tactic" to a state-sanctioned "strategy" for urban beautification and political control. Through interviews and spatial and historical analysis, my research revealed how, through co-optation and foreign investment, street art in Amman--once a fugitive space--was stripped of its subversive and revolutionary potential.
