Abstract

DE SOUZA OLIVEIRA, Aline Rayane  and  CODEVILA PALMA, Rodrigo. The slum that became a sculpture park: a look at Catacumba Hill in the city of Rio de Janeiro. An. Inst. Arte Am. Investig. Estét. Mario J. Buschiazzo [online]. 2022, vol.52, n.2, pp.1-14. ISSN 2362-2024.

This article relates the encounter of art with the favela, constituting a case study about Catacumba Park in Rio de Janeiro. Located in a prime region of the city, the creation of the sculpture park in 1979 was made possible by the removal of the Catacumba favela in the early 1970s, in the context of public policies of urban renewal. Our aim is to reflect on the interests of the agents directly intervening in the transformations of the city and to understand the role of art in the context of urban renewal.

Keywords : Catacumba Hill; Catacumba Park; favela; sculpture; urban renewal; Rio de Janeiro; second half of the XXth Century.
