TIME TO PAINT FAVELAS...

I was just informed by my girl this morning that we have been invited out to Brazil to help paint some walls. Exciting...i know....how about this...

"The dutch artists Jeroen Koolhaas and Dre Urhahn embarked on a journey to bring outrageous works of art to unexpected places, starting with painting enormous murals in the slums of Brazil together with the local youth".

In 2005 a group of guys went out to Brazil to make this documentary entitled 'Firmaza Total', documenting the struggles of youth in Favelas (slums) in Rio and Sao Paolo. Having had such an immense response from the young community and seeing how they express themselves through Rap Music and other forms of Hip Hop. They returned to Brazil in 2006 to further their research by visiting many slums and getting a real sense of how the community works, while also planning a possible place to create a huge mural with the young kinds.

After a long process they finally found a spot in Vila Cruzeiro, one of Rio's most notorious favelas, and came to a conclusion with the kids to paint a boy flying a kite.

By 2007 it had been completed...


I really like the idea of giving power to kids by letting them express themselves through art and allowing them to feel a sense of worth in there communities.



Check out there website for more interesting pics and stories about the various projects that they have been initiating.
