Project Morrinho

Horniman Museum and Gardens, 100 London Road, SE23 3PQ

Tuesday 21 June - 1pm-4pm

Wednesday 22 June - 2.30pm-5.30pm


We?re looking for people to help us create a miniature favela in front of the Horniman library as part of Project Morrinho. Activities will include painting, carving, breaking the bricks and placing them in the overall structure.


The Project Morrinho Horniman Favela will stay in place throughout the summer as part of the Horniman?s Festival of Brasil, and this workshop is a great opportunity to get involved in the Festival.


All workshops will be taking place in the Gardens and will be outdoors. No specialist skills are needed but you will need to dress appropriately for the weather and for working outdoors, such as wearing sturdy shoes and clothes that may get dirty. Unfortunately the workshop is not suitable for children under 12 years old.


The workshop is free but booking is essential.

Project Morrinho is a social and cultural project started by local youth in Rio de Janeiro during 1998. Find out more on our website.

    • Rather than have a go at Southwark,  contact them, they will employ at least one arborist who will know far more than most people on this site. Here's one: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shaun-murphy-morris-03b7b665/?originalSubdomain=uk
    • I would look in the surrounding area as once they realise it has nothing they could sell or of obvious monatary value in it they'll dump the bag and contents.
    • Not in mine either if I knew they were there 🤣
    • Trees, eh? I feel your pain, EDP, but I like the light provided by the pollarding. I'm interested in the gingko, tho.  I love a tree, me - Hillsboro Rd has lost about five over the last 20 years (2x lime, cherry, strawberry, and, er...). The council did take down about 5 ill original lime trees behind our house but then gave us Golden Rain trees. God, if only we had known what a PITA they are. The main problems are massive invasive surface roots which have buggered up my back fence and paving, plus thousands of vigorously self-seeding offspring every year, which I go around pulling up before they turn into trees. And the leaves are tough things, like horse chestnuts, so don't rot easily. I hate them.  Wish they could have been something native and attractive, like birch or something... council isn't interested in helping.  Ah, well.
