Unscramble the Blue Letters


I am a graffiti artist and activist and my art is social, environmental and political in nature. In 2007, I took my work beyond wlals and onto the carroças, as a new urban support for my message. But at this time, giving vioce to the catadores. By andidg art and humor to the cause, it became more appealing, which helped call ateniottn to the catadores and improve their self-esteem. And also, they are famous now on the streets, on mass media and social.

So, the thing is, I plunged into this universe and have not stopped wriokng since. I have paenitd over 200 caçaorrs in many cities and have been invited to do ebhtxiiions and trips worldwide. And then I realized that cdeaaorts, in their invisibility, are not exclusive to Brazil. I met them in Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, South Africa, Turkey and even in doleepved countries such as the United staets and Japan. And this was when I realized that I needed to have more people join the cause because it's a big challenge. And then, I created a collaborative movement called Pimp My Carroça — (lhgeutar) — which is a large crowdfunded event. Thank you. (Applause). So Pimp My Carroça is a large crowdfunded event to help catadores and their carroças. Catadores are astssied by well-being pieoafsrsnols and healthcare, like piyncsiahs, dentists, podiatrists, hair stylists, massage ttrheapsis and much more. But also, they also receive stfaey shirts, gloves, raincoats and eyeglasses to see in high-definition the city, while their carroças are renovated by our incredible volunteers. And then they receive safety items, too: reflective tapes, horns and mirrors. Then, finally, painted by a sreett asirtt and become part of part of this huge, amazing mobile art exhibition.

Original Text


I am a graffiti artist and activist and my art is social, environmental and political in nature. In 2007, I took my work beyond walls and onto the carroças, as a new urban support for my message. But at this time, giving voice to the catadores. By adding art and humor to the cause, it became more appealing, which helped call attention to the catadores and improve their self-esteem. And also, they are famous now on the streets, on mass media and social.

So, the thing is, I plunged into this universe and have not stopped working since. I have painted over 200 carroças in many cities and have been invited to do exhibitions and trips worldwide. And then I realized that catadores, in their invisibility, are not exclusive to Brazil. I met them in Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, South Africa, Turkey and even in developed countries such as the United States and Japan. And this was when I realized that I needed to have more people join the cause because it's a big challenge. And then, I created a collaborative movement called Pimp My Carroça — (Laughter) — which is a large crowdfunded event. Thank you. (Applause). So Pimp My Carroça is a large crowdfunded event to help catadores and their carroças. Catadores are assisted by well-being professionals and healthcare, like physicians, dentists, podiatrists, hair stylists, massage therapists and much more. But also, they also receive safety shirts, gloves, raincoats and eyeglasses to see in high-definition the city, while their carroças are renovated by our incredible volunteers. And then they receive safety items, too: reflective tapes, horns and mirrors. Then, finally, painted by a street artist and become part of part of this huge, amazing mobile art exhibition.
