Three Vendors of Ipanema / Três Ambulantes De Ipanema

“The Human Being is Only Free When He is Master of Himself.” These words cap a mural in a favela high over Rio De Janeiro, framing the lives of three street vendors descending from the hills to sell their homemade foods on the “Farme” section of Ipanema Beach. For decades, these three vendors have been beloved figures of Farme Beach’s LGBTQ+ community.
