One of our old friends, one of the first drawing students and a member of the theater crew, the talented young Josemar Oliveira, has developed a passion for graffiti art during the last few years. Recently, he joined the Salvador graffiti crew that has steadfastly collaborated with and participated in the ICBIE activities, the Nova10Ordem.
Josemar has recently done a panel entitled “Skin the Color of Dendê” in the open space of our Institute, reaffirming the ties of friendship between the ICBIE and Nova10Ordem; a bond that has also been reinforced with the visit of Bigode, one of the crew’s founders, to the ICBIE Italy in Rome.
Bigode, along with other Brazilian graffiti artists, is touring Europe and participating in various inter national events, but he did not miss the opportunity to return to Rome and visit his ICBIE friends. On this occasion he was hosted by Spin Time, the organization that the ICBIE collaborates with, defending the right to housing, and on that theme the Brazilian writers realized a beautiful mural.
