Pichacao, Art as Ugly nonsensical crime in Brazil
Pichacao Brazils home grown style of tagging is the mouth piece of Sao Paulos poverty ridden slums called Favelas. Its considered as an ugly, nonsensical angry crime. Yet the Pichadores scale the highest walls, towering buildings to get their tags painted, sometimes at the cost of their lives. Pichacao ia a form of rebellion against the society by the poor, the neglected, that do not exist for the rich and affluent. It is actually favelas "screaming" for attention, any type of attention…..for them "Bad strokes are better than no strokes.The ugly aspect of their writing represents their hideous existence in the Favelas.
