It is in the heart of a Brazilian Favela, that the first edition of Artivista began. The objective: to offer people that were left behind a platform and put the spotlight on a reality often ignored. From Belo Horizonte to Paris, eight graffiti artists lived and worked side-by-side for a month (June/July 2018) to embellish several public spaces: the Benvinda School, the Favela Morro das Pedras in Brazil, the sports field at the Robert-Debré Hospital in Paris and the Séverine square in Pré Saint-Gervais. An educational and civic approach that revives the philosophy of street arts.
