Abstract

This chapter examines whether a focus on the informal creative economy can support peripheral cultural scenes that remain invisible to policy and society. In contexts of extreme poverty and deprivation, mobilising the idea of the ‘creative economy’ can generate resources, interest and support that would otherwise not exist, opening up greater possibilities for cultural producers and artists in shantytowns who are attempting to secure jobs in the cultural and creative sector.

The programme was expanded so as to include a diversity of locations beyond favelas: rural spaces, urban spaces as a whole and ‘quilombos’ communities (Secretaria de Cultura RJ 2016). Although the latter originally provided shelter for escaped African slaves, over 3,500 still exist in Brazil (Fundação Cultural Palmares 2016).
