About this audio guide
This guide to Beco Do Aprendiz in São Paulo traces how a Vila Madalena alley known for dealing became a street-art gallery, after journalist Gilberto Dimenstein's nonprofit began inviting local taggers and trained artists to paint its walls around the turn of the millennium. The workshops eventually drew in more than twenty thousand people from the area. Look for the lone spaceship mural near the small square named after one of the alley's earliest painters.
