Bringing art to the streets: Anderson Augusto & Leonardo Delafuente

Square

Artists Anderson Augusto (aka SÃO) and Leonardo Delafuente (aka Delafuente) are bringing art to the streets of their native Brazil, literally. Together they formed 6emeia a project formed to transform the lives of those living in their Barra Funda neighborhood through art.

They began painting storm drains, light poles, manhole covers, and other common urban objects transforming the common urban objects into art accessible to all. Their colorful and humor filled transformations of the gray nondescript canvasses have been welcomed by the locals.
