Stencil Videos
Ataque23 - São Paulo, Brazil (Video)
On sunday september 13, about 200 street artists took over a very popular avenue, called 23 de maio, with a very wide range of public artistic intervention: grafffiti, pixaçao, sticker, posters, stencils, photo, videoart, street poetry, etc., as a way of protesting against the policy of the city administration of erasing all the city walls. 9 of the artists were taken to jail (as you can see in the video linked below) and some hours later were released with no charges, only beacuse there was some press covering the action. All the art seen on the video, which is only a part of the whole intervention, was painted/done in about 5 hours that morning. At night on the same day the works were being erased, and there are no works left today.

"I've always really had the sense of the way that people store things inside their bodies and the way that everything you've ever seen or ever done is a part of you.and I felt like in a way if I could somehow draw that.or make an x-ray - maybe it was just your experiences that day or maybe it's just what you walked past that day, or maybe it's a deeper story that's.somewhere in there for the telling."
