Project Morrinho: The South Bank Favela

Look! There's a toytown made of bricks lit up by fairylights by the RFH.


It's Project Morrinho, the South Bank Favela (more info): "It is a collaboration between teenagers from Stockwell Park Estate and young people from the Pereira da Silva favela in Rio de Janeiro, and is a version of the full-sized Morrinho project, a social and cultural project created 12 years ago that aims to challenge the negative perceptions of Brazil's favelas -- namely, that they are entirely dominated by guns, drugs and violence." (Even more info.)
