For a wheelchair user, a sidewalk without an access ramp is a wall. And, according to the latest census, only 9% of sidewalks in São Paulo have access ramps. Therefore, to draw attention to this lack of accessibility, we invited artists to do what they do best to the city’s walls to do their art on walls that only wheelchair users are aware of.

This is how A SIDEWALK IS A WALL came about: a project by NGO Movimento SuperAção that took on the responsibility of raising society’s awareness about the importance of including people with disabilities. Not only because of the basic human rights principle, but also because of the obvious and inherent advantages of coexisting with differences.

By Kobra in São Paulo, Brazil. Photos by Alan Teixeira.

“Brazilian street artist Eduardo Kobra is currently finishing his tribute to the Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer, who passed away last december at the age of 104. The new mural is 52 meters tall, 16 meters wide and it covers the entire side of a skyscraper on Paulista Avenue, one of Sao Paulo’s busiest streets.

The work started on January 14th and since then, Kobra and four other artists from his team have been working on the painting around 6 hours a day to finish all the details.

The artwork was inspired by Niemeyer’s architecture and among the colorful forms the viewer will find that some of them were based on Niemeyer’s works.

The credits of the pictures shall be given to the brazilian photographer Alan Teixeira”

Eduardo Kobra: In times of so many conflicts, it is increasingly urgent to build peace. In the neighborhood of Tatuapé, in São Paulo, I made this simple image in order to convey an important message: we cannot lose hope that one day we will live in a world without wars, with humanity united in search of a better future for all.

Street Artist Veracidade brings vibrant colors and bold imagery to the streets of São Paulo

By Veracidade in São Paulo, Brazil for Museu da Cidade de São Paulo.

Veracidade is a street artist and muralist whose work brings vibrant colors and bold imagery to the streets of São Paulo. One of his latest works, located at the Solar da Marquesa de Santos, is a stunning hand-painted mural that celebrates resilience and joy through the reinterpretation of the Marquesa on the back of a black woman.

The mural is part of the exhibition “Intersections of black, indigenous and peripheral people in the city of São Paulo” at the Museu da Cidade de São Paulo, that opened on the anniversary of São Paulo.

This mural by Veracidade is a powerful and emotive representation of the strength, beauty, and resilience of black, indigenous, and peripheral communities in São Paulo. The mural not only adds to the aesthetic of the city but also serves as a reminder of the importance of representation and inclusivity in public spaces. The work of street artists like Veracidade, who use public spaces to share stories and perspectives often marginalized, is crucial in creating a more equitable and just society.

The use of vibrant colors and bold imagery in this mural is a characteristic of Veracidade’s work, that creates a striking visual impact that captures the attention of passersby. The mural also serves as a reminder of the power of art to tell stories and spark conversations about important social and cultural issues.
