The president of the house, Stepan Nercessian, 70, spoke in a recent interview with O Globo about the difficulty of visiting and supporting other artists: “I approach businessmen, lawyers and politicians and ask them not to cut off the water .” . But the artist has “If you need to be aware, you should always come here.”
Cida Cabral, administrator of the Retiro, explained in an interview with Extra that there are people who do not contribute and others who insist. She also says there are even some family members of artists who come together and contribute.
Cida emphasized that the place relies entirely on donations and thrift store sales. “Our survival depends on the help of some artists and the public. We really need help, be it financial, food, medicine, clothing. Everything is very welcome,” he explained.
