Morrinho is one of the Brazilian groups presenting at the 52nd Biennial of Venice. Merely improvising, one boy with left over bricks, cement and paint for a game: a model. After being a distraction, it turned into a serious subject and attracted many collaborators and started to call attention.
What is MORRINHO?
It is a model of 300 square meters situated in the Vila Pereira da Silva on the Pereirão Hill in the Laranjeiras neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro. It is made from remains of bricks and other recycled materials to reproduce a small-sized favela. The exposition at the CAIXA Cultura is the brick models situated in Morro do Pereirão.
Location: Rua Almirante Borroso, 25 – Centro – Entrance Hall
Schedule: Tuesday to Sunday 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM

The Before and After Venice
The model represented in Venice was made up of 13,000 bricks under open skies making up the largest international exhibition of Pereirão.
In addition to Robert Store, American art curator, declaring Morrinho as a work of art, the show in Venice represents a breaking of paradigms and a parting of waters in the lives of these natural architects.
It was only with a lot of teamwork and determination that the work in Venice could turn out like this!
Check out “before and after” of the Venice Biennial in the videos below.
