ABOUT
Pixo is a transgressive cultural aesthetic movement that emerged in the 80s in São Paulo, Brazil.
It is a movement related to similar street art movements that happened around the world at the time but it continues to this day with only internal references, breaking with the artistic cultural import from Europe and the United States. Emerging in a city as chaotic, unequal and aggressive as São Paulo, today, pixacão has expanded to practically the entire Brazilian territory, assuming its own identity in each state, being very different aesthetically from region to region, creating a rich diversity.
In Brazil, thousands of people climb entire buildings from the outside, floor by floor, without safety devices, using only their bodies and the structure of the buildings to leave their mark on the city making use of different techniques developed by the movement’s members themselves.
Eneri is one of the movements most active feminine voices.
ABOUT
Irene Avramelos, known in streets as Eneri (her name backwards) was born and raised in São Paulo.
As a teenager, she started to go on baile funks, reggaes, rap battles and ended up discovering the points, pixo gatherings which she started attending as a fan of the movement.
After (2013) she began actively painting the city’s streets. She is part of the generation of pixadoras whose objective is to break down gender barriers and contest the limits of art, a world where Eneri began to enter in 2020, using beyond the walls, screens, videos and other supports to debate feminism, decolonization, inequality, and other issues.
Eneri is one of the most expressive women in the pixo movement today having broken several barriers: participating in the first female climb between windows in history, being the first female pixadora to leave Brazil invited to work, and more.
