Worth Repeating: Giant Portrait Street Art Features Older People

WORTH-REPEATING“Worth Repeating” is a weekly feature on the EngAGE Blog that will bring you previous posts that we think are still timely, interesting, or just plain fun! From 4/14/14:

“Imagine walking down the street and finding yourself gazing at a gigantic, wrinkled face that seems to be holding up the elevated highway above you. And then another, and another. The whole highway supported by the older people of your city. That’s what you’d see if you were in Sao Paulo, Brazil, right now. Since 2008, artist-photographer Raquel Brust has been pasting her enormous images of regular people on the physical structures of Sao Paolo.” Read more about this fascinating project here.

See a previous EngAGE Blog post here about giant art created by street artist JR, who’s taken his “Wrinkles of the City” from Cartegena, Spain, to Shanghai to Los Angeles, and to Havana, where he was joined by Cuban artist José Parlá.
