Rio´s Grafitti - Poem Street Walls

Muros de Giz or Poem Walls is a great carioca streets initiative. People do graffttis on street walls
leaving a chalk part for passersby to write a poem or a phrase.

Later, the walls are photographed and post in FLICKr for backup reference.

The walls is frequently cleared to give space for new writtings.

Wall Phrase:

"O sonho é uma caixa fechada sem paredes"

The dream is a closed box without walls..

 

"O som pertence ao silêncio,

O silêncio imprime o tempo,

e edifica o espaço."

"The sound pertains to the silence,

silence imprints the time,

and edifies the space"
