Rio de Janeiro COMMUNITY, brazil
A key component of Faou’s process is the careful identification of a host site for each public artwork. The attributes of the host community are an important consideration in the development of the project. By including community members in the creation, installation, and activation of the artwork, Faou forms and cultivates strong connections within local host communities. Beginning with the endorsement of the Celebra Cultural Program of the Rio Olympics and continuing with our partnership with INEA, Ring continues to engage the local community through outreach programs and remains a legacy of the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
