Make a Dream Reality

Actively organizing in her community since she was a teenager, Magda Gomes is the co-founder of Instituto GUETTO—focused on professional education and training for Black Brazilians—, the Rocinha Resiste—an NPO that provided support to the Rocinha community during the 2019 floods and 2020 pandemic—, and Tem Gente com Fome—which raises money to provide food for the poor and combat hunger—, while also volunteering at the Rocinha Sustentável and Casa da Paz.

She gained international recognition when she was invited to the launch of Angela Davis' book in Washington. Now, she has the opportunity to study English, which is vital to expanding her project globally, as she has been invited to participate in and speak internationally but lacks the financial resources to do so.

"Make a Dream Reality" is a fundraising campaign using art as an invitation for collective support. It's part of BODYSPACES, the first appointment of the Canvas International Art Fair 2024, which took place in Venice at Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello in September 2024 during the 60th Venice Biennale of Art.

You can make a difference in her life so she continues to impact the lives of so many others.
