“Nunca” – Never in Portuguese – is part of a wave of up and coming Brazilian street artists currently being invited to exhibit in Europe. Joby meets him in his Sao Paulo suburb.

Nunca started out aged 12, writing graffiti and picha̤̣o Рthe stark black lettering which is unique to Brazil. It adorns every surface below 15 feet in Sao Paulo.
Over the years his work has developed into a more pictorial style, incorporating indigenous art and in particular the use of cannibals.
Joby discovers how the scarcity of good quality spraypaint, and lack of information about the New York scene – led to Sao Paulo artists developing their own distinctive form of street art.
He goes out with Nunca to paint a news-stand in broad daylight and then, when he arrives in London, finds out if Nunca can transfer his counter-cultural message to the major museum space of the Tate Modern.
