FAVELA PAINTING, RIO DE JANEIRO

A great and interesting example using art as a tool to inspire young people, living in slums or poor neighbourhouds in Rio de Janeiro. Haas&Hahn are known for their different art projects in Brasil where they invite youth to work with them on the project to teach them new skills and try to keep them from the streets.

As said by the foundation: “The Firmeza Foundation supports the creation of striking artworks in unexpected places. It collaborates with local people to use art as a tool to inspire, create beauty, combat prejudice and attract attention.”

We can not agree more that it definitely attracts attention and we believe these two guys are doing a real good job in making the world (Brasil) more beautiful, bit by bit. Check the images below for their most recent project: Santa Marta.

Or their website for more projects.
