Nuevo Mundo, Ep. 06 - Brazil

Juan Tamayo | Documentary, Series

2020 | 53 minutes | Chile

Pixação and muralism in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro challenge aesthetic norms, giving visibility to social and urban inequalities in Brazil.

Synopsis

Brazil, the largest country in South America, is home to two emblematic cities: São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. These vast urban territories are marked by deep divisions and social segregation, where inequality manifests in contrasts between wealth and poverty. Graffiti and street art have become powerful tools of expression in these cities, with artists using the streets as their canvas to challenge the status quo. From the rebellious and bold pixação (a form of graffiti unique to Brazil) to the more vibrant and polished pop muralism, these artistic movements bring social inequalities to the forefront, reflected on the walls of public space.

In this episode, we explore how the walls of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro serve as a mirror of social inequalities, capturing the voices of marginalized communities and transforming public spaces into arenas of resistance, reflection, and cultural dialogue.
