Squatting in São Paulo as a major art and political force (in response to the Architectural Biennial) co-curated by me

  • Marina Cortés

In conversation with the works by Preta Ferreira and as part of the Chicago Architecture Biennial exploring the struggles for housing rights in São Paulo, the event analyzed the history of artistic squatting in São Paulo and the transformation of squats from platforms to fight against gentrification to active cultural, artistic and educational centers for community building, with special emphasis in Ouvidor 63, the largest squat in Latin America. Curated by me and co-coordinated by Cecilia and Marina Resende, it also counts with the participation of artists Luis Só and Sirius Amen
