Mundano is a Brazilian street artist and activist whose work makes people stop and think about the issues swirling around them everyday. In 2007, he began using his graffiti skills to paint carroças, the wooden and metal carts used by the trash collectors throughout Brazil who haul off junk and recyclables. He painted 287 carroças and in the process made these invisible superheroes visible—not only in the streets, but also in the media. The effort led to; Pimp My Carroça," which made this initiative do-it-yourself, crowdfunded and global. It has brought in 355 trash collectors in cities around the world, teaming them up with 305 street artists and 1066 volunteers. It is quickly becoming a movement. WebSite: http://paredeviva.art.br
