questions for you
The first is if you know the
City
This is where I live since I
I was born at dawn and dawn is a
Brazilian city located in the
Rio Grande do Sul and is very close to
from the capital city of porto alegre
And for those who already know dawn when
I speak the name of this city that word
comes to your mind
so I asked that same question
only for residents of the city and
The answer I got was the following
for them the words that most
they characterize dawn are words like
assault dirt fear abandonment
insecurity and disregard for shame
but even in this research other words
appeared only in a minor way
words like perseverance work and
Hope and today I’m going to tell
about how through my drawing I
I stopped seeing the gold that way
negative and I started seeing her like a
positive way good since small
I always liked to draw the one I
brought the drawings I made when
I was five years old on the home
still small since already ten years old
one of the things I loved doing
comic books
I printed on a legal sheet several
squares and tried to create in this
a comic story and more
old yet to college
How do I live at dawn and study in
Sao Leopoldo
I needed to get a bus and a train.
and during that train ride and I started
to draw the passengers
These difficult were very important to
I wish many many
passengers and I began to see myself as a
and like my behind and
take the practice of this exercise
this work was born my first
artistic design a cutout on the subway
where I would take the drawings and mix
with the photo of where the passengers
were sitting with some thought
that I was thinking at the moment going to
college and still in college I had
the opportunity to exchange information
through science without borders
Spain and in Spain I studied arts and
I learned in this study more about
drawing and painting and I
expand my project records in the
subway with the new places I was
knowledge and with the new techniques that
I was learning in Spain I had
the opportunity to meet various
several and several places and when
I went back to Brazil, I realized that I did not
I knew my own property and
As soon as I got here I had
opportunity to work as a
designer in the local dawn newspaper
and designer stylists and is
important to charge because through it
I started getting closer to the problems.
And I needed it too.
begin to reflect on them but I
I was not satisfied I wanted
to get to know my city even more
so I had the idea to start
interviewing dawn dwellers and
turn these interviews into
comic books and gave a lot
sure this project and I lasted a year and
every 15 days
he left in this newspaper and the whole
I interviewed 23 city residents for
Example, I interviewed Aelita.
who is 85 years old and told the
her family and how this story
crosses with the birth of the city
I interviewed your luis coming rain
at dawn more than 30 years and sustained
the whole family with this work and
I interviewed the bento who also works
for over 30 years only selling
magazines
interviewed the resident of Rua José
told his story of friendship with
That dog, Tito, interviewed her.
Mom reads about the story.
her and the history of her religion
I also interviewed José Damião who
talked about his story that
crosses a tragedy that happened in
dawn that was the flood in 2015 and
he saved over 120 dogs
spring and was a very learning
to know these stories and the
others that I could not show here
because I grew up so much
artistically and personally but
above all i started then
to know my city, for example
with Jorge from Lagoa
that of the previous fault and I, I
I learned about environmental patrimony
that the address has with Bernadette I
I learned about architectural wealth
dawn with him is about the
importance of preserving the past
of the city with Jose the title to the value
of a friendship even in a situation
are adverse with the rita recycler
I learned about the struggle for a life.
worthy through work here the rita
with its published history and one of the
the biggest emotions I had during
this project was to see these residents
of dawn
their valued stories and felt the
how much did it do for self-esteem
He knows how I said it in total.
I interviewed 23 residents and now with
city support these 23 stories
they will become a book
in fact I have already seen it turned book 500
books you donated in schools
municipalities for dawn so that
the students grow up knowing the
history of where they live and which has
proud to live there together with
I ‘m working this job too.
for dawn and taking pictures of the city and
transforming these photos and
illustrations and the idea is to make 21
attractions for her to turn into
20 postcards for
inhabitants of dawn can send to
another city with pride the place from where
they live and you remember the
first image I showed then
this is a drawing of that view and
he is very meaningful to me
because it was the first drawing I did
dawn and I too before
starting this project had prejudice
with my city but through the
drawings in a way I am
redesigning the city within me and
I hope I can redraw the tack
for other people too
and if you asked me the question that I asked
You guys, I did a research on
What word would I define the address
I would use any of those three words
that appeared in the beginning that
appear timidly in my research
because through the history of life
of people
I learned to see the abode as a place of
perseverance
Work and hope, thank you very much.
