Document Summary
No urban design involved in these favelas. 6% of the brazilian population live in favelas. Brazil is considered a middle income country. Thi(cid:374)gs the(cid:455)"(cid:448)e do(cid:374)e to i(cid:373)pro(cid:448)e: beautify the town. Very dangerous: lots of gang warfare, weapons, police are not even equipped to deal with them. Exist because of rapid urbanization: no infrastructure, no reasouces. Acme favela ppg: art that helps to spread policy, see art in inconspicuous places. Beside government offices: and e. g. of how poverty is being pushed to the suburbs, change ugly into art that could tell a story, promote discussion, create debates. Acme rio de janeiro: paint without having an idea, using colour on the walls to brighten up the city, it is applied art. West bank and gaza barriers: israel is building a wall. Few openings and entry is strictly controlled: the wall is effective, but very offensive to many people. Palestinian graffiti: hasty graffiti, no time to make it.
