 graffitto on Avenida Escola Politécnica.

this is one of my favourite graffitti in Rio Pequeno.

For some mysterious reasons some places are chosen by people for the dumping of rubbish... This is one of those on Avenida Politécnica... it ain't a pretty sight. August 2012.

Universidade de São Paulo has been walled up against the local population... They must have taken a course in Segregation & Apartheid with the old South Africa ancient regime.

Favela San Remo is probably the only shanty-town inside the campus of a major university in the whole-wide world. That's no mean distinction.. Universidade de São Paulo should be proud of such a feat.

This is Zozô, a young rooster who was probably meant as a sacrifice in an Afro-religious worship. He was found roaming Rio Pequeno's streets and given to us by some boys who were playing and found the poor bird completely lost. Today Zozô lives a fairly comfortable life in our back-yard where he found a permanent home.
