New prints made by CCPR – Acari

A donation for CCPR – Acari!

Piëta van der Werf decided that for her 65th birthday instead of a present for herself, she wanted to ask her friends to donate to a good cause and chose the MiCamichula foundation.

We met each other a year ago in Rio de Janeiro, a city she loved and where she first got to know our foundation, and seeing as she and her friends wanted to support a project they know personally, it was a perfect fit.

Piëta’s friends raised an impressive amount of money and Piëta herself and her husband Jaap donated some of their own money as well, to the incredible total amount of EUR 1000. This will go to CCPR, the cultural centre in Acari where MiCamichula is currently active. Acari is one of the most violent neighbourhoods of
Rio de Janeiro and together with a group of local funk and hip hop MC’s we started CCPR last year. MiCamichula specifically supports the silkscreen activities. We are currently in contact with our local partners and the silkscreen teacher in order to decide what is the best way to spend this generous contribution. We will keep you posted.

For now, a very warm thank you to Piëta her family and friends!

Comite Cultural Popular Revolucionario Poeta Deley de Acari

MiCamichula recently arrived in Brazil again. We are constructing, in cooperation with local organizations Apafunk and Templo de Hip Hop, a new silkscreen atelier in the favela Acari in Rio de Janeiro. CCPR Poeta Deley de Acari is a cultural centre that at the moment offers karate, capoeira and dance lessons for the local youth. With support of MiCamichula, in the near future, they will provide silkscreen workshops and start a small atelier  in order to produce t-shirts.

New MiCamichula van!

Last summer we had our mobile silk screen studio in the perfect caravan! During the events in 2009 it was painted by several artist and we loved it. Unfortunately our van and us had to say goodbye to eachother in the end. We missed it so much and ended up buying a van. It didn;t look so funky though. It was white and boring…. But not anymore!!! Last weekend Ment was here from Rio and helped us pimping the MiCamichula Mobiel. Check it out!

Graffiti in Heesterveld, Bullewijk.

Last Monday, the Brazilian graffiti artist Marcelo Ment gave a guest lecture in Heesterveld, where MiCamichula has initiated a silk screen studio in cooperation with F.L.A. With his photographs, videos and stories Ment brought inspiration. In the garden participants were spraying large white exhibition walls, while the others were working on new designs for their shirts in the studio. Design, graffiti art and screen prints proved to be a good combination and inspiration again. Check the website of Ment for more information and pictures.
