23 x 3 metres Muro da Escola Municipal
Surubi January / Janeiro 2007
Thanks to all citizens of Surubi taking part and making a manifest for the
city to be proud of.
The PINTURA COLETIVA makes a great CONTRAST to the surrounding Bairro Surubi,
where roads are of dust, or full of holes, electricity goes when raining, and
the main square is falling apart.
City Hall seems to consider repairing infrastructure
in this area of the city only when media tells a critical story,
or right before a new election?
People living here have a low income or none, thus their votes seem not to
be important enough?
Hopefully the contrast of the PINTURA COLETIVA will draw more 'beauty' to Bairro
Surubi.
Everyone interested from Bairro Surubi was invited to join; children, youngsters,
adults.
Children and youngsters were the first ones to be eager to take part. Culmination
on 5th day when many adults came along too. TV RIO SUL paid a visit early morning
6th day. Families came along to see the wall, and still do. Children pointing
at the wall telling their grant-parents where and what they had been painting.
City hall people drove by and got amazed. Local
bar gave beer to the organisers, which is a rare thing here.
Arriving in Denmark Creative Actions kept contact
with Citizens Organization of Bairro Surubi. In the middle of March
2007 1,5 month later the city hall sent workers to begin the asphaltation
of the main crossroad in
Surubi. This was a beginning. Still many dust roads fail asphaltation.
