cultural intervention, called the "Tribes of St. Michael", is part of the Meeting of Cultures project, which aims to generate income opportunities for artists in the neighborhood's creative sector by recording their own history through graffiti, in addition to bringing local residents closer to this chronology and encouraging self-belonging and the development of artistic activities through free cultural workshops in schools in the region.. The project is supported by Pro-Mac (Municipal Cultural Project Support Program) and is sponsored by Nitro Química and organized by Árvore Cultural and LS Nogueira.

“We chose graffiti to promote art in an accessible and open way as a work of activism that tells the real story of the neighborhood, from our native peoples, in a written and painted timeline that highlights various graffiti styles. We generate income for artists and their families and suppliers in the region, in addition to the dissemination of their services. beyond the wall, We also encourage street art in workshops and workshops in public schools; not to mention the avenue's janitorial improvements, which ends up recovering with the painting of poles and sidewalks and cleaning the flower beds", explains Luan Flavio, Project's coordenador.
