SCIENCE GRAFFITI: the process

Watch the video with the ‘Science Graffiti Wall’ construction.

"The Science Graffiti expresses the vision of science and art as the essence of being human."

Ronald Shellard – Centro Brasileiro de Pesquisas Físicas

"Showing the paths of science for young people is fundamental for the future of the country and the planet. The project stimulates and places the potential of young people at the center of the debate. It's a very welcome initiative!"

André Luiz Pinto – Fundação Roberto Marinho

"The visit to the Science Graffiti Wall complements the vision we have in the web-site. The project is a milestone in the scientific popularization in our country."

Francisco Roberto Leonardo - FACC

"It is important to understand the role of scientific dissemination in modern society. This project innovates when talking about science in the language of young people."

Claudinei Caetano de Souza - Angular Labs

"Science popularization is a permanent challenge for the scientist. The Science-Graffiti shows that science is becoming an essential part of the society."

Henrique Lins de Barros – Centro Brasileiro de Pesquisas Físicas

"The Science-Graffiti symbolizes the fertile dialogue between artists and researchers, since both of them formulate questions for the society."

Olivier Fudym - CNRS/France
