Paint Brushes For Guns, Brazil

While filming “Love Sees No Color” in Rio de Janeiro, Nassiri came across a school where children were creating art from items they had found on the street. The name of the project was called “Guns for Brushes,” and is aimed at giving children a safe place to create, where they would not be in danger or out on the streets alone. The original location was a single room, which was asbestos ridden, filled with debris and smelled of foul odors. The conditions were unsafe. As a creator and artist himself, Nassiri could not turn away from such an important program. He is searching for a much larger building nearby and is in the process of purchasing it for the “Guns for Brushes” campaign.
