The Favela painting academy aims to transfer knowledge about setting up large-scale community-driven art interventions. It was founded in 2016 and since then, three inspiring two-week workshops have been organised in our studio on the tropical island of Curaçao. During these workshops students from across the world discussed and learned about producing large scale community art. Together with local artists and the community an artistic and colorful intervention was realised in the streets of Curaçao (Otrabanda). Through this intervention various social issues could be addressed and the community was given a platform to raise a discussion.
