Rio Design Fellow Daniel Feldman worked with the Santa Cruz community to design and install this art project on the site of the Homeless World Cup Legacy Center in Santa Cruz, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Utilizing waste plastic bags from the community, Daniel and the community transformed the pitch's backstop into a community canvas. It's a perfect example of the power of community collaboration towards rich layers of empowerment and ownership.
