on both sides
premières rencontres entre montreuil et rio
Bel Air and Grands-Pêchers, Rocinha and Júlio Otoni: sport in the year of the Games, pasted up on both sides of the ocean.
“Our neighborhood is in a town east of Paris called Montreuil. It's a friendly neighborhood where everyone knows everyone,” write some. “Rocinha is the largest favela in Latin America. Culture and diversity are very present there,” answer the others. The two groups met through what they made: photographs, sound capsules and texts, gathered in the booklet “blr rio” and exhibited on both sides.
In the alleys of Rocinha, the posters were pasted on the walls, right where the photos had been taken; in Montreuil, the images from Rio joined those from Bel Air.
