These are the murals of Haas & Hahn, it sure gives a different personality to the town no? Who would have though a mural could be a positive change.
From their site:
"Haas&Hahn is the working title of artistic duo Jeroen Koolhaas and Dre Urhahn. They started working together in 2005, when they filmed a documentary about hip hop in the favelas of Rio and São Paolo for MTV. Inspired by this visit, they embarked on a journey to bring outrageous works of art to unexpected places, starting with painting enormous murals in the slums of Brazil together with the local youth."
I Love, how as artists we have a wonderful way to start change for the good.
