Abstract [eng] This article, theoretically based on socio-spatial concepts of Lefebvre, de Certeau and their further interpretations at the New Urban Sociology school (by Gottdiener, Zukin and others), examines the spread of graffiti in the urban space of Vilnius, the change of the local graffiti map during the years 2010–2013 and the possible social implications of the spotted modification of urban landscape. The qualitative research of Vilnius graffiti – which is understood both as an urban practice and an illicit urban inscription – and the case of Naujininkai neighborhood in particular, is based on data obtained from 1) in-depth interviews with experienced graffiti artists, 2) observation of graffiti in public space and 3) visual urban ethnography. Naujininkai neighborhood was attributed by local graffiti writers to the urban periphery in Vilnius graffiti map in 2010. However in 2010–2013 the visual development of urban landscape in Naujininkai indicates the trend, bringing the neighborhood a little closer to the urban core.
