ABOUT US
Founded in 2024 in the Paraisópolis community of São Paulo, Favelarte Galeria Suburbana is the brainchild of Hermeson de Morais (Ticano). The gallery was born from the urgent need to establish a safe and powerful space for artists from the periphery to exhibit their work, professionalize their careers, and strengthen their voices in the contemporary art scene.
Guided by community experience and Ticano's strategic vision, Favelarte has established itself as a fundamental territory for creation, training, and resistance. The space is not just a showcase, but a hub for social transformation that connects talent from the periphery to opportunities in the art market.
