PAINTING FAVELAS 

Nothing will get our attention faster than a worth-while public art project. Boa Mistura, a Hispanic art collective went into one of Sao Paulo’s slums (favelas) to reach the community through art.

What they came up with was a colorful representation of the people who live there. Their Anamorphic paintings, send out messages of beauty, pride and hope.

The words used were: Amor (Love); Doçura (Tenderness); Beleza (Beauty); Firmeza (Stability) and Orgulho (Pride).

“The five-headed crew repainted several vecos and vielas – those winding streets, being the true articulators of the internal life of the community”.
