Synopsis of an Urban Memoir
March 26th – April 14th
Brazil’s “National Day of Graffiti” on March 27 was established in 1987 after the death of the artist Alex Vallauri (1949-1987), one of the pioneers of contemporary urban art in the country. Synopsis of an Urban Memoir is a group exhibition in tribute to this iconic date that aims to foster urban art as an artistic and social movement.
Synopsis of an Urban Memoir presents the works of nineteen Brazilian artists: Alto*Contraste, Branco, Bugre, Camila Crivelenti, Ciro Schu, Combone, Criola, Fefa Românova, Goms, Henrique Belotti, Ju Violeta, Júlio Vieira, Mag Magrela, Mateus Bailon, Panmela Castro, Pecci, Siss, Tikka and Vermelho. Each of these artists, through their own style, represents different voices within their communities. Nevertheless, they all embrace the importance of bringing color and inspiration to public spaces. In this sense, art becomes accessible to all and strengthens the relationship between the city’s inhabitants and their environment.
We invite everyone to join us in this cultural event to celebrate Brazil’s “National Day of Graffiti” with an art exhibition and outdoor painting.
Produced by AnnexB, Duetto Arts and Urban Walls Brazil, Synopsis of an Urban Memoir is a partnership with The Andrew Freedman Home and Cufa Bronx - New York – Central Única das Favelas.
CUFA was founded in Rio de Janeiro in 1996 by Celso Athayde a documentarist, a four times best-seller writer and a social activist. The organization is recognized and awarded worldwide inspiring and influencing public policies, media and attracting private investments to fulfill its mission of exchange social technologies and provide intercultural dialogue among the poor, specially through education, sports and inter-cultural programs.
Part of the proceeds from this exhibition will benefit CUFA programs and projects in the USA.
