From Slums to Street Art

This is a video about two guys that use the walls of a slum in Brazil as their canvas. Their idea was to try and make the slum a safer place by making it more lively and beautiful. I think that this is a great use of art. The same way that JR's photography acted as roofs for people, these walls make the streets safer and calmer. Street art isn't mindless vandalism, it can be a tool to make neighborhoods better places.
