various groups and cultural movements.
Lauro lives and breathes his adopted city, imbibing
the best it has to offer – friendliness, solidarity

Julia
Cadernas
Julia and her grandmother
Even
before the start of my work at BSAG, at the beach
one day in Ipanema, in front of "Batista’s"
kiosk, I ran into my former neighbor, actress Julia
Cardenas, or as I still call her, Ju or Juca.
Julia
is the same age as my children, and along with them
spent her childhood and early teenage years in Pendotiba.
At that time Pendotiba was a paradise – few
house, few people and lots of tales to tell!
I
remember her well: a child with an enormous sense
of justice, and very creative. She was one of the
leaders of all the neighborhood street “projects”,
like the famous Muriqui neighborhood journal and the
small popsicle factory that operated in my kitchen.
From
our meeting at the beach we wound up at Hermenegildo
de Barros Street, at the big old house that would
become BSAG. Julia adored the place and immediately
started to help me prepare the Center’s cultural
project.
It
is to her I owe my meeting with Jongo Maestro Darcy,
along with many other people who have participated
and still participate in BSAG.
BSAG
would have never been possible without the dedication,
involvement and excellent work of Julia Cadernas as
cultural producer.
