Description
Carmen Silva, who I had the privilege of meeting today, as she sat for a quick sketch. Tireless advocate for the homeless, having been homeless herself, the MSTC movement "Movement for Roofs for Homeless" have successfully occupied abandoned buildings, done basic reforms, negotiated with the city to convert said buildings into proper new housing units. Successful "squatters" for thousands in Sao Paulo city centre. She believes art has the power to speak for the voiceless, something we agree on.

Lots of local community work to be done, another artist trying to make issues more visible.
