How paintings can transform communities, by Jeroen Koolhaas and Dre Urhahn (Ignasi Velázquez)



This talk, which is explained by two artist Jeroen Koolhaas and Dre Urhahn, is a project that he thought and they go to the favelas of Rio, in his neighborhoods starting painting a boy who flying a kite. Later, they continue painting and they settled in a house in the favelas, they could hear shots that occurred between police and bands. The project increment and develop more bigly, they received around 100.000 dollars, and paint with helping of some volunteers a big part of an a neighborhood. Philadelphia liked a lot his project, and asked them to paint part of houses in poor areas. The results were spectacular and gave the streets a singularity.
