The GRAFFITI FESTIVAL aims to fulfill the dream of a dreamer who inspires others and has led them to believe in his purpose. The “FLOW” is not just a project, it is a mission that fascinates its participants.

“FLUXO” is a community project with an artistic-cultural basis, made up of an informal group of residents and friends from the Alto da Cova da Moura neighborhood, and led by the artist VIRUS (stage name) - which became ironic during the Covid pandemic19.

Tattoo artist and writer by profession, during the confinement, the artist decides to sell the car to buy paints and get to work on the streets of the neighborhood. These paintings on consecutive façades of houses in Cova da Moura have the pretext of cleaning and beautifying the public space. The artist has been gathering synergies aimed at the artistic, visual and cultural rehabilitation of the neighborhood. In this way, we want the quality of daily life, well-being and visits to the neighborhood to improve. An open-air gallery for everyone.

Within the scope of this dynamic, Fluxo intends to hold a Graffiti Festival called "KovartJam", with the following activities:

- Elaboration of graffiti and murals;
- Urban art workshop for social inclusion with national and international partners;
- Fair of articles and products created at Cova da Moura;
- Street Music of kizomba, morna, rap, reggae, DJing;
- Campaign against violence and abuse against women "# nonviolas"

This festival aims to continue the exercise of promoting the contribution of many to improve the aesthetic image of the streets of the neighborhood and to promote artistic and cultural activities that make use of the skills, talents and culture of the residents and friends of the neighborhood.

This crowdfunding campaign aims to fulfill the dream of a dreamer who inspires others and has led them to believe in his purpose. “FLOW” is not just a project, it is a mission that fascinates those involved and that aspires to be a bridge for the positive transformation of the Cova da Moura neighborhood

Dear friends, residents and ex-residents of Cova da Moura, lovers and sympathizers of urban art:

We created this campaign to fill another part of the financing we need to make this dream come true.

For this reason, we appeal to all lovers of art and culture, social entrepreneurs, and everyone in general who believes in self-determination and social transformation, your participation in this exercise to contribute to another step in the positive transformation of the neighborhood. Cova da Moura.

In advance, we thank you for your contribution, to the extent of your possibilities, and for sharing the link of this campaign with your network of family and friends.

We are available for all types of inquiries.
