Google Color+City

  • Nathan Wang
Color+City is a project started by two Brazilian street-art enthusiasts, Gabriel Pinheiro and Victor Garcia, to match graffiti artists with people who have walls in need of brightening up in São Paulo. The artists worked with the venture-capital/accelerator arm of Brazilian agency FLAG/CUBOCC, São Paulo, which presented the project to potential partners. Google Brazil quickly got involved, using Google Maps to collect the locations of available artistic canvases across the city; over 4 thousand walls were donated and Color+City plans to expand internationally. Role: Project Manager (platform design and development, client management, artists management).
