Description

The word “maloca”, popularised by Brazilian singer and songwriter Adoniram Barbosa with the song “Maloca querida”, means a simple house, a home or a shelter. Inspired in the installation “Tropicália” (1967) by Brazilian artist Hélio Oiticica, with simple and colourful materials, we will built our own “maloca”. In the end we will create a labyrinth like an informal neighbourhood, that will be the result of every individual intervention.
