Belo Horizonte's streets will be transformed into a large open-air gallery until August 30, as part of the free CURA 2026 festival. From August 19, six artists - Ailton Krenak, Monica Nador, Tina Soul, Efe Godoy, Nica, Dalata, Tot and Fhero - have begun painting on blank walls in the city center. Krenak, an Indigenous leader and writer, is participating in the festival for the first time, creating a monumental mural.
Nador, a community-based artist, has collaborated with Krenak on this work, symbolizing the festival's focus on inclusivity. Six additional artists will be working on the walls from August 26 to 27. The festival's highlight is a guided rooftop visit to the Edificio JK on August 27 to 30 at 4:30 pm, offering the best view of the artwork.
The event closes with the Festa Honk on August 30, from 2pm to 8pm, and a children's play street on August 29 and 30. The festival is free and open to the public, with no need for membership or reservations.
