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."

Me, Emma and Lorna

This evening I went to dinner with some friends to celebrate Lorna's birthday. It was very exciting to meet Emma there! We've been internet friends since c.2003, but this was the first time we'd ever met.
