Trash cart superheroes | Mundano

Prevodilac: Mile Živković Lektor: Anja Saric

Our world has many superheroes.

Naš svet ima mnogo superheroja.

But they have the worst of all superpowers: invisibility.

Ali imaju najgoru od svih supermoći: nevidljivost.

For example, the catadores,

Na primer, katadoresi,

workers who collect recyclable materials for a living.

radnici koji skupljaju materijal za reciklažu kako bi preživeli.

Catadores emerged from social inequality, unemployment,

Katadoresi su nastali zbog društvene nejednakosti, nezaposlenosti

and the abundance of solid waste

i velike količine čvrstog otpada

from the deficiency of the waste collection system.

kao posledice nedostataka sistema skupljanja otpada.

Catadores provide a heavy, honest and essential work

Katadoresi pružaju težak, pošten i bitan posao

that benefits the entire population. But they are not acknowledged for it.

koji koristi svom stanovništvu. Ali im niko ne odaje priznanje.

Here in Brazil, they collect 90 percent of all the waste that's actually recycled.

Ovde u Brazilu, oni skupljaju 90% sveg otpada koji se reciklira.

Most of the catadores work independently,

Većina katadoresa radi nezavisno,

picking waste from the streets and selling to junk yards at very low prices.

skupljaju otpad sa ulica i prodaju ga smetlištima po niskim cenama.

They may collect over 300 kilos

Mogu da skupe preko 300 kilograma

in their bags, shopping carts, bicycles and carroças.

u svojim torbama, kolicima iz samoposluge, biciklima i karosama.

Carroças are carts built from wood or metal

Karose su kolica od drveta ili metala

and found in several streets in Brazil,

i mogu se naći u nekoliko ulica u Brazilu,

much like graffiti and street art.

poput grafita i ulične umetnosti.

And this is how I first met these marginalized superheroes.

Tako sam se prvi put sreo sa ovim superherojima s margina.

I am a graffiti artist and activist

Ja sam grafiti umetnik i aktivista

and my art is social, environmental and political in nature.

i moja umetnost je po prirodi društvena, ekološka i politička.

In 2007, I took my work beyond walls and onto the carroças,

2007. sam svoje radove skinuo sa zidova na karose,

as a new urban support for my message.

kao novu urbanu podršku za moju poruku.

But at this time, giving voice to the catadores.

Ali ovog puta, glas sam podario katadoresima.

By adding art and humor to the cause, it became more appealing,

Kada sam povodu dodao umetnost i humor, postao je privlačniji,

which helped call attention to the catadores

što je pomoglo da se privuče pažnja na katadorese

and improve their self-esteem.

i poveća njihovo samopouzdanje.

And also, they are famous now on the streets, on mass media and social.

Sada su i poznati na ulicama, masovnim i društvenim medijima.

So, the thing is,

Stvar je u ovome -

I plunged into this universe and have not stopped working since.

upustio sam se u ovaj univerzum i od tada nisam prestao s radom.

I have painted over 200 carroças in many cities

Oslikao sam preko 200 karosa u mnogim gradovima

and have been invited to do exhibitions and trips worldwide.

i pozivan sam na izložbe i putovanja širom sveta.

And then I realized that catadores, in their invisibility,

Onda sam shvatio da katadoresi u svojoj nevidljivosti

are not exclusive to Brazil.

nisu jedinstveni za Brazil.

I met them in Argentina, Chile,

Sreo sam ih u Argentini, Čileu,

Bolivia, South Africa, Turkey

Boliviji, Južnoj Africi, Turskoj,

and even in developed countries such as the United States and Japan.

i čak i u razvijenim zemljama poput SAD i Japana.

And this was when I realized that I needed to have more people join the cause

Tada sam shvatio da je potrebno da se još ljudi pridruži ovom povodu

because it's a big challenge.

jer je to veliki izazov.

And then, I created a collaborative movement called Pimp My Carroça --

Onda sam stvorio pokret u saradnji pod nazivom "Nabudži mi karosu" -

(Laughter) -- which is a large crowdfunded event.

(Smeh) - što je veliki događaj kojeg finansiraju mase.

Thank you.

Hvala vam.

(Applause).

(Aplauz)

So Pimp My Carroça is a large crowdfunded event

"Nabudži mi karosu" je veliki događaj kojeg finansiraju mase

to help catadores and their carroças.

kako bi pomogli katadoresima i njihovim karosama.

Catadores are assisted by well-being professionals and healthcare,

Katadoresima pomažu profesionalci za negu i medicinu,

like physicians, dentists, podiatrists, hair stylists, massage therapists

poput lekara, zubara, pedijatara, frizera, masera

and much more.

i mnogih drugih.

But also, they also receive safety shirts, gloves, raincoats and eyeglasses

Ali takođe dobijaju bezbednosne majice, rukavice, kabanice i naočare

to see in high-definition the city,

kako bi grad videli kristalno jasno

while their carroças are renovated by our incredible volunteers.

dok njihove karose renoviraju naši neverovatni volonteri.

And then they receive safety items, too:

Onda dobijaju i bezbednosnu opremu:

reflective tapes, horns and mirrors.

trake, trube i ogledala koji odbijaju svetlost.

Then, finally, painted by a street artist

Onda konačno dolazi oslikavanje uličnog umetnika

and become part of part of this huge, amazing mobile art exhibition.

i oni postaju deo ove velike, pokretne, neverovatne umetničke izložbe.

Pimp My Carroça took to the streets of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Curitiba.

"Nabudži mi karosu" je krenuo do ulica Sao Paula, Rio de Žaneira i Kurićibe.

But to meet the demand in other cities, including outside of Brazil,

Ali kako bismo zadovoljili potrebe drugih gradova, uključujući i one van Brazila,

we have created Pimpx, which is inspired by TEDx,

stvorili smo Pimpx, po uzoru na TEDx,

and it's a simplified, do-it-yourself, crowdfunded edition of Pimp My Carroça.

i to je pojednostavljena verzija "Nabudži mi karosu", u stilu "uradi sam".

So now everybody can join.

Sada svako može da se pridruži.

In two years, over 170 catadores, 800 volunteers and 200 street artists

Za dve godine, u pokretu "Nabudži mi karosu" učestvovalo je

preko 170 katadoresa, 800 volontera

and more than 1,000 donors

have been involved in the Pimp My Carroça movement,

i 200 uličnih umetnika, kao i preko 1000 donatora,

whose actions have even been used in teaching recycling at a local school.

čija dela su korišćena čak i da se predaje recikliranje u lokalnoj školi.

So catadores are leaving invisibility behind

Katadoresi ostavljaju nevidljivost za sobom

and becoming increasingly respected and valued.

i postaju sve poštovaniji i cenjeniji.

Because of their pimped carroças, they are able to fight back to prejudice,

Zbog svojih nabudženih karosa, mogu da se bore protiv predrasuda,

increase their income and their interaction with society.

povećaju svoju zaradu i svoj kontakt s društvom.

So now, I'd like to challenge you to start looking at and acknowledging

Sada bih želeo da vas izazovem da počnete da gledate i uvažavate

the catadores and other invisible superheroes from your city.

katadorese i druge nevidljive superheroje iz vašeg grada.

Try to see the world as one, without boundaries or frontiers.

Pokušajte da svet vidite kao jedinstven, bez granica.

Believe it or not,

Verovali ili ne,

there are over 20 million catadores worldwide.

u svetu ima preko 20 miliona katadoresa.

So next time you see one,

Sledeći put kada vidite jednog od njih,

recognize them as a vital part of our society.

prepoznajte ga kao ključni deo našeg društva.

Muito obrigado, thank you.

Muito obrigado, hvala vam.

(Applause).
