No one knew that the notorious neighborhood of favelas in Rio could become an open art museum for the rest of the world.
Artists Jeroen Koolhaas and Dre Urhahn created community art in Rio by becoming a part of people living in the favelas that often broke with wars between drug dealers. Post the success of this project the duo came to the North of Philadelphia to beautify one of the poorest area in the city and the houses on the hill which they initially thought of giving the artistic make over. Together, they blame barbecuing and letting the project flow organically the reasons for their success.
