Map-Wall
Mapa-Muro is the intervention on an external wall/facade located in a favela, at the headquarters of a social project, NGO, or institution. This intervention was conceived in 2018 by SOAR Estúdio, a collective from urban peripheries, and consists of the reproduction of the map of the favela where the project is carried out, in the form of a mosaic of shards of brick and tiles, complemented by paint and pigmented grain.
Cidade Água
A versão brasileira do projeto Commons & Communities traz como eixo central a cidade. Cidade como plataforma para o desenvolvimento possível de comunidades e de seus bens comuns. Cidade não apenas como território geopolítico de dimensões públicas e privadas, mas como um corpo coletivo, uma manifestação concreta das dinâmicas harmônicas ou desarmônicas das comunidades coabitantes. Esse eixo central se desdobra em três conceitos associativos: Cidade Água, Cidade Comida e Cidade Bem Viver.
Vidigal’s Living Monuments
In the midst of one of the biggest water shortages that Rio de Janeiro has ever experienced, the city’s pilot green roof was born, in the Morro do Vidigal favela, inspiring the “Marvellous City” to align with the “world agenda for sustainable development and climate”, and also, with the recommendation of the World Health Organization (WHO) of a minimum index of green area per inhabitant in urban areas.
Jogo do Museu
The Museum Game was developed as a preliminary phase of the participatory project of the Sankofa Museum’s physical space, in Rocinha. Through playful language, the game seeks to engage residents in the elaboration of the museum’s programme, widening the possibility of activities to be developed in the venue.
