One of the many pillars with poems from the Profeta Gentileza in Rio de Janeiro, near Rodoviaria.
Profeta Gentileza spread good messages, poems and protests against the capitalism and money power through pillars in Rio.

That´s really an example of how the streets can mediate messages, the importance of Urban spaces.

General Osório Square - Ipanema.
A nice afternoon with many different kinds of urban interventions. Poetry recitation, music, circus artists, dj´s, painters and others.
Street arts and expressions had always existed but nowadays the fetichism over its thematic brought a new form and visibility for this free media (and when everybody can produce and receive messages).
