Community Responses to Eviction, Gentrification & Police Violence in Pre-Olympic Rio de Janeiro - Film & Lecture
Upon being selected to host the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics, Rio de Janeiro has striven to reconstitute itself as a “global city.” Yet despite initial optimism, there is growing debate about whether the city’s boom has reduced the city’s infamous inequality. How is Rio’s “coming of age” unfolding? What is happening in the 600 plus favela communities? These and other questions will be answered by Dr. Williamson, director of a non-profit organization that provides capacity-building, training, media exposure, and global networks to 1,500 leaders from over 250-low income communities across Rio de Janeiro. The film Favela as a Sustainable Model will be screened at the end of the lecture.
