PACIFIED FAVELA Frederik Buyckx

nationality: Belgium
The favelas in Rio de Janeiro, slums where drugs and guns
are a daily reality, are often separated by only one street website: www.frederikbuyckx.be
from the richest and most exclusive areas of the city. With
the World Cup coming to Rio in 2014, and the Olympics in
2016, politicians are trying to clean up and pacify the
favelas. New roads are being built, children play, and
mothers take their children to school. Yet there remains an
abundance of drugs and alcohol, conflicts between locals
and the pacification police, and people who wish things
would return to the way they used to be. What will happen February 18,
