TINKEBELL. presents: SAVE THE WORLD #4

SAVE the neighborhood of Rimac

13 Nov 2011

We're celebrating Lima's salvation with Peruvian food and music. Over the course of three weeks TINKEBELL. and over 100 volunteers painted a great number of houses in the slum settlement 'Rimac' in Lima. Seen from the city center, these houses together form a big pink heart. Back in The Netherlands, TINKEBELL. threw a party to celebrate.

SAVE the neighborhood of Rimac

The ultimate community art project: SAVE the neighborhood of Rimac addresses how artists are employed to boost the image of 'bad' neighborhoods. TINKEBELL.'s project neatly checks all the boxes: 'working together', 'neighborly communication' and 'sending a positive signal to the outside world'. A response to the well-known community art projects, in which artists and their work are instrumentalized by city councils.

Program
