Eder Muniz a.k.a. "Calangos de Rua" is a self taught artist whose work can be found all over the streets of Salvador da Bahia, Brazil. His unique talent, commitment to valuing regional culture and preserving mother earth and his ability to capture young audiences through his art, landed him a full time position as a street artist with the city of Salvador da Bahia. Since then he has gained national and international recognition.

Eder Muniz is the founder of "Movimento Calangos", a collective of artists committed to encouraging creativity and culture in Brazil's favelas. Movimento Calangos de Rua means Lizard of the Street Movement. This December, in honor of Brazil's local Children's Day, the Colongos Movement will bring actors, dancers,
photographers, poets, musicians, and graffiti artists together to create a public mural to raise awareness and support for the Little Prince, an organization dedicated to working with children who suffer from burns.

The Crazy People Must Do Something is the NYC based arm of the Colongos Movement. Our aim is simple. Connect people with art and artists that support global issues. For this event Eder is joined by his fellow "crazies"for an insane night of art and music in the Lower East Side.

Destino

Moving somewhere and nowhere, Destino is a clustered haze of drawn out late nights. Video projections of swamps, street corners, and deserts create conflicting time-spaces for fragmented narratives from Eto Oro's sleeplessness. Destino, a work in progress, is Oro's first solo piece with Slippage, the MIT-based performance collective. Founded by Professor. Thomas F. DeFrantz, the focus of Slippage is to develop and present interventions in performance, culture, and technology.

Eto Oro is an artist, designer, and change agent. He works to shift normalcy towards the radical. Oro abandoned his studio training as a painter to explore the aesthetics of improvisation and impermanence using new media performance. Since 2003, he has been exhibiting his own work and contributing to various new media projects. In 2005, Oro designed several video installations for James Luna's, Emendatio, at the 51st Venice Biennale. In 2008, Oro was the co-curator of "Now You See It, Now You Don't" a simulated exhibition at Superfront Gallery in Brooklyn, N.Y. that coincided with the annual Race and New Media Conference at the New York City College of Technology. This spring, Oro collaborated with architect John Stuart on the TimeZone Project, an exploration of design, technology, and interactive communication between New York and Lima. Oro is also the founder and director of Polymedia Projects; an artist run exhibition space/ new media arts initiative located in Jersey City, N.J. Eto Oro received a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from M.I.T. and an M.S. from the Joint Program in Design at Stanford University. In his free time Oro DJ's music specifically tailored for moving butts.
