subsequent entry to ‘Semana Santa – holy week’

Prefer a slideshow?

It got nothing to do with the summer, but since I have just installed the gallery’s plugin I think it is time to do it. The fotos were taken during Semana Santa – holy week (2007).
You mainly see the cultural group called ‘Tá na Rua’ who are doing theatre on the street.

Favela

Monday, May 19th, 2008

If you still remember the story of RadioFavela is subtitled ‘Not assumable becomes consumable … becomes subsumable‘. The links here refer to RadioFavela’s website, where you can read the theoretical texts.

With the chapter ‘not assumable’ I tried to explain the situation in Rio (or in Megacities in general), you can listen to it again in the category RF01 – not assumable.
The middle part ‘RF02 – consumable‘ is any cultural production I had the chance to catch for you. This is definitely the most enjoyable part.

Now it becomes ‘subsumable’ which is my response to all what I have gone through here in Rio, which is a RadioProductionCentre in the carioca harbour zone. Within the next four podcasts you can follow step by step my understanding of the favela via the city to my RadioProductionCentre in a very high abstraction grade.

The diagram above illustrates the text you will listen to. For those who get the podcast via feed I added the image as cover.
