Tulane to host Brazil-based graffiti artist collective Grupo Opni
September 10th, 2017 - September 12th, 2017
Location
Tulane University
This fall, Tulane University will host the Brazil-based graffiti artist collective Grupo Opni. Grupo Opni is graffiti artist collective from São Mateus, Brazil with a mission of using art as a medium to celebrate Afro Brazilian culture and as a vehicle to provide a voice for disenfranchised groups from the periphery. Formed in 1997, Grupo Opni has since won many national awards for graffiti art in Brazil such as ‘Best Graffiti Group‘ in (2012: State of São Paulo) and ‘Best community project‘ in the ‘Cultural Territories Category‘ (2015: Governor‘s Award). The group is also known for developing works for various artists in the Brazilian music scene such as MC‘s, Crioulo, MV Bill, Dexter, Emicida, Charlie Brow Junior, O Rappa, Banda Black Rio, Ponot de Equilíbrio, among others. Opni is returning to New Orleans after participating in the 45th Jazz and Heritage Festival Brazilian Cultural Pavilion in 2014 and will be present at Tulane University September 11-12, 2017.
The Tulane and New Orleans community will have the opportunity to learn more about the collective’s mission and community art mural projects in a series of graffiti and mural demos, workshops, and discussions. You can catch Opni in the following spaces:
