#TakeCareOfYou (Story)

Work with
the foundation

At the end of 2019, in parallel with the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, I started what would become a series of works carried out with the Aga Khan Foundation, lasting until 2021 and extending to several areas.

Among the projects carried out, the following stand out:

  • Muralism and graffiti;

  • Workshops and training;

  • Video and image capture and post-production;

  • Graphic design;

  • Motion design.

Above is the poster for a campaign proposed and subsequently launched by the foundation, in partnership with several other organizations, including the informal organization I am part of, CriActividades (CreActivity's), which jointly designed this campaign as well as several workshops, training courses and mural and graffiti work.

The requalification of spaces, both exterior and interior, through painting and drawing in mural and graffiti projects, has also often served to hold workshops and training sessions for children, young people and even adults.

 

These types of projects were made possible by the incredible mutual help and cooperation of the small informal group, of which I compose 1 of 3 members.

In the workshops and training sessions we had the opportunity to work with children and young people, some with special needs, as well as adults, all of whom allowed us to see the world from another perspective, sometimes through the eyes of someone who would like to create art, but nevertheless feels limited by the thought that they either do not have the capacity or simply lack some guidance.

It was truly an enriching experience where we both taught and learned.

You can find the material recorded in these interventions in the promotional video for the Juventude Criativa (Creative Youth, a callback to our informal group's name) workshop and training, which took place at the Casa da Juventude da Tapada das Mercês.
