Can art, creativity and design help people in difficult life situations? That's what artist, design director and author Thomas Lupo initially asked himself. That it works is shown by the globally active organization ARTHELPS, which grew out of his experiment in a Brazilian favela.

CREATIVE ART LAB
Together with refugee children, the Arthelps initiative gets creative: What is created in the process will be offered for sale on December 19 for a good cause.
At the moment, the corner room on the upper floor of the shopping center "Das Gerber" is still relatively unadorned. "But we want to change the space completely," says Thomas Lupo, founder of the Arthelps initiative. And with art and creativity: Arthelps is a group of artists, designers and other creative people who want to share their creative urge with others, or more precisely, with socially disadvantaged people. For this project, titled "Artvent," it's refugees.
"Everyone is creative," says Thomas Lupo. "We want to tease out this creativity, to break down the fear of it." And so the Arthelps initiative - founded six years ago - works with young refugees directly in the accommodations, but also in the middle of the city, in the Gerber. "Each of us brings talents and skills from our profession and volunteers here," Lupo explains. For example, the younger refugee children sit together with the artists at a table and paint or glue colorful feathers onto paper. The older ones are busy with collages and graphics, cutting out shapes and rearranging them, or working with concrete slabs into which they carve letters or symbols. ...

ART WITH REFUGEES: I CAN POUR MY HEART OUT HERE
„They have survived a bomb attack or the flight in a boat: underage refugees who are on the road alone. Students at Constance University of Applied Sciences are helping them get a fresh start with a multimedia art project.“ This is how Simone Utler describes our project „Grenzenlos“ on SPIEGEL Online.
The boy wraps large sheets of white paper around himself until only the dark eyes, nose or mouth peek out. Then landscape photos are projected onto him: a picture from the desert, a picture of the sea. "I was in both - on my way to Germany."
That's what Robiel says, and it sounds so natural as he stands there wrapped in a jumble of paper.

ARTHELPS – MORRO DO PAPAGAIO
With the "Morro do Papagaio" collection, ARTHELPS is breaking new, exciting ground and setting standards in sustainability. What remains in the end are fair wages in production, nature-conscious fabrics - and above all happy young designers from a favela in Brazil.
The story behind the collection
In February 2014, the ARTHELPS team travels to Belo Horizonte - to the "Morro do Papagaio" favela. Here, a two-week creative project takes place with children and young people from the slums. The big goal: to design their own T-shirt collection together. The motifs that are being created revolve around the parrot bird, which gives the favela its name. On the other hand, of course, it's about soccer: the topic is omnipresent - everyone is feverishly awaiting the World Cup in their own country. At the end of the project, hundreds of drafts and designs have been digitized and the team has more material than it could wish for. But those involved are also satisfied for other reasons. The project is about more than just designing T-shirts: the aim of the creative work is for the young people to discover unknown sides of themselves and thereby recharge their batteries. There are rules when designing - but only in order to break them. The team deliberately encourages them to think in new ways, find their own ideas and try things out. Erstaunliche Ergebnisse, Überraschungen und Glücksmomente sind so garantiert.
Back in Germany, the many different designs are viewed, edited and finally finalized for production. In the end, the "Morro do Papagaio" collection comprises a total of 12 T-shirts.
It is made of 100% certified organic cotton, produced in Europe - and carries the story of the children and young people of the favela "Morro do Papagaio" out into the world. ARTHELPS uses the proceeds from sales to support educational projects in the favela. Morro do Papagaio - soon in your closet!
You can support "Morro do Papagaio" and other aid projects of Arthelps with a donation. The t-shirts are available in the Arthelps online store.

KREATIVTRAINING IN FAVELA: SENHOR TOM UND SEINE MONSTER
"Children in Germany often paint houses. Or trees. Or their family. Or a car. The kids from Morro do Papagaio are totally into monsters. "You can't go wrong there, every monster is individual and therefore just right the way it was created," explains designer Thomas Lupo. "It doesn't matter how many arms, legs and eyes a creature has - the kids can let off steam."
"Lupo is a graphic artist and designer from Germany. Morro do Papagaio, the Parrot Hill, is a favela in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. About 16,000 people live here. Lupo was in the slum for six months in the summer of 2009 and led a creative training program for children. In the meantime, he has summarized the results of his work in a book..."

CHIC FURNITURE BUILT FROM OLD PALLETS
"In a project by Arthelps and Neue Arbeit, 14 young people gave free rein to their creativity." An article by Ralf Recklies.
“Furniture of a very special kind was created last week by 14 young people between the ages of 16 and 20 in a joint project of the social enterprise Neue Arbeit and the Arthelps association. For five days, armchairs and chairs, couches and dining tables, as well as lamps and a wall mosaic, were made from transport pallets in the former food bank on Böblinger Straße.
The furniture and home accessories created in this way will soon be presented in an exhibition...”

THE YOUNG ESCAPEES FROM PARROT HILL
"Advertiser Thomas Lupo traded the fancy agency for a Brazilian favela for five months: with children, he created paper monsters, street art and self-confidence instead of campaigns. Now he's looking for more creatives who want to make a social difference with their ideas."
"A classic "creative forge" has a lady at the front desk, a good rut, a pile of advertising prizes on the shelf, constant top spots in the creative rankings, and lots of young people playing foosball when they're not brainstorming and inventing campaigns. But a creative hotbed can also be hidden behind a brick wall on the outskirts of a Brazilian megacity. Many don't even know they have what it takes. Until a German comes along, with a big backpack full of glue, expired films, a head full of ideas and a slightly queasy feeling..."

SHIRT DESIGNS
The various T-shirt designs appear in "TYPO SHIRT ONE", published by Slanted c/o MAGMA Brand Design.
TypoShirt One is a new book that we published at Index Book / Barcelona. We had a great time putting it together and are so happy to see that now its there, bringing sunshine to these gray winterdays. Featuring more than 1,700 unique designs from all over the world, TypoShirt One is the first book to focus exclusively on T-shirt typography. Spanning message and logo T-shirts to more abstract and arty models that transmit more cryptic messages, TypoShirt One showcases current and historical T-shirts from small, independent labels and artists to those created by globally recognized names and brands.
Ever since the T-shirt crossed over from unadorned male innerwear item to a hugely popular unisex wardrobe staple more than half a century ago, no other piece of apparel has featured as many expressive and fascinating claims, statements, typefaces and “instant messages.” These transmitted messages gain an irreversible strength and power through the motifs that, in this book’s pages, are reduced to their substance, related to the form and content.

NO FEAR OF KIDS / THOMAS LUPO GOES BRAZIL
The cover story of form 240 is a report on Thomas Lupo's time in the Morro do Papagaio favela: "Graphic designer Thomas Lupo spent five months in Brazil working with children from the Morro do Papagaio favela. His project "Pra Fora/ Outward" was intended to keep the children busy with creative workshops, strengthen their self-confidence and at the same time draw attention to the youngest generation from the neighborhood through the artistically pasted and sprayed walls.
Thomas Lupo and his bachelor thesis "Pra Fora / Outward" came to our attention through his presentation at Typo Berlin. The 30-year-old graphic designer moved to Brazil for five months to the Morro do Papagaio favela to carry out creative projects with local children. His book "Anleitung zum Ausbrechen" will be published in the fall by Hermann Schmidt Mainz." ...
