“Poesia Magica” by Boa Mistura in São Paulo

In January 2012, Boa Mistura painted a series of words strategically spread in different alleys in the favela of Vila Brasilandia, located in north São Paulo, Brazil. They wrote “Amor, Beleza, Orgulho, Doçura, Firmeza” (Love, pride, sweetness, beauty, strength). Five years later, we have added two new words: “Poesía” and “Magica” (poetry and magic), highlighting the beauty of the irregular constructions.
