Rolling out the carpet at Travessa Cassiano and Baixo Santa do Alto Gloria

This Sunday, March 20th, kids from the community centered around Travessa Cassiano and Rua Hermenegildo de Barros got together in the Mestre Darcy do Jongo room to put the final touches on the carpet will be rolled out in the travessa (lane) during the
Holy Week festivities.

The initial idea was to make a special shroud, allowing stamping images on the cloth. However, the fabric provided by the producers was not suitable for using this technique, so the project was modified.

It only took a few moments for the kids to start painting using rollers and their fingers. Our carpet is long and will be displayed with pride this coming Thursday (March, 24th).

BSAG gives a heartfelt thanks to Sergio Cezar, the “Architect of Cardboard”, as well as to scene painter Theresa Zarvos de Medicis and educators William Barbosa and Marcelo Hosannah, who all helped transform this Sunday into a real festival for the neighborhood children.
