In times of sadness, anxiety and uncertainty, six diverse and multidisciplinary artists hailing from the favelas of Complexo da Mar\u00e9<\/a> have been a beacon of light in the darkness. In a project known as Becos<\/a> <\/em>(Alleyway), these young creatives have shown the power of art to transform realities and their ability to deal with serious, pressing issues with lyricism and creativity.<\/p>\n

Becos<\/em>\u2014referencing the narrow, winding paths in favelas\u2014is a four-part audiodrama<\/em> in the form of podcast episodes divided into four acts, available on all major platforms. Realized in partnership with People\u2019s Palace Projects<\/a> and Mar\u00e9 NGO Redes de Desenvolvimento da Mar\u00e9<\/a>, Becos<\/em> sits at the intersection of fiction and reality, poetry and prose, painting a unique picture of life in Mar\u00e9<\/a>. As we hear in the podcast\u2019s introduction to the project: \u201c[Becos<\/em>] is a collective sound piece, bringing stories from the alleys; stories of denunciation and of resistance. Stories which also bring healing in the laps of our mothers, grandmothers, stepmothers, and older sisters, creating a path with each piece of advice.\u201d\u00a0Becos<\/em> will shortly be available in English.<\/a><\/p>\n
