Meeting of favela: Grafitando subjetivações na Vila Operária do látex às cores digitais

Abstract

Meeting of Slum - graffiting subjectivation in Vila Operaria, from latex to digital color is the result of a research on the potential of an event which main feature is volunteering. Covering the course of the event and the work of its organizers, the research aims to investigate the Meeting of Favela (Mof) event and to map the subjective processes of graffiti from its street art point of view, as an element of resistance in periphery territories of Rio de Janeiro, giving visibility to the creative power of communities which have always been seen pejoratively by the hegemonic media. In this context, the study has raised questions in two main lines of analysis. Why Mof was created and how does the language of graffiti and access to digital screens takes street art worldwide, deterritorializing it and, at the same time, expanding the territory of Vila Operária on the cultural map of the Baixada area in Rio de Janeiro and the whole Rio? For the analysis of these issues Deleuze and Guattari theoretical framework was used, providing clues to follow the path and untangle the lines of the analysis.
