Paper City and Papers, Cities, Lambe-Lambe, and Young People
摘要
This story captures an art installation Pereira created on a rooftop in the Villa Kennedy, a neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro with one of the highest rates of violence in the city. The neighborhood was founded on a history of forced displacement of marginalized communities who are still impacted to this day by the inequalities and injustices reinforced by state structures. The prologue is written from the perspective of a piece of paper. The rest of the chapter explores connections between youth, street art, and social and political action. The chapter focuses specifically on a technique called lambe-lambe, the Brazilian term used for public art installations that are made from paper or posters held by glue.
