la galerie des ruches · rencontres la tl
Fifteen panels where the images of the children of Les Ruches meet those of the children of the T.L., at the top of Rocinha.
“Les Ruches is friendly. In the neighborhood everyone knows each other.” Their text says what they love, their homes, the trees “because they help us breathe,” going downstairs to meet up, and what they would like: a soccer field, play areas, a swimming pool, even a trampoline. A poem tells of the silence of the buildings disappearing one by one, then the children coming home from school or from the beach, and Les Ruches coming back to life.

“I'd like there to be no more rubbish, for them to fix up a pitch for us, to put games in the garden.” “I'd like them to get rid of the electric scooters, the dirt and the flies.” “I dream that everyone becomes Black so there's no more racism.” “I dream of a park, a swimming pool and a slide.”
