Planetary Embassy
Digital, Exhibition Design, Identity
Planetary Embassy is an initiative by Swissnex and the Embassy of Switzerland that imagines new forms of diplomacy between humans, nature, and the planet’s other living forces. During COP30, the project occupied a chalet in the gardens of Museu Goeldi in Belém, Pará, bringing together art, science, technology, and Indigenous knowledge in a space for active listening. Patterns generated from natural sounds form an identity in motion—generative, alive, and breathing—capable of varying like the ecosystems that inspire it and of graphically translating the relationship between ecology, culture, and contemporary diplomacy. From Brazil to Switzerland, and from the United States to China, India, and Japan, we built an extensive, adaptable visual system for an initiative that proposes a diplomacy seeking to speak on nature’s behalf—and that begins precisely by learning how to listen to it.
Ateliês do Rio enters the creative spaces of ten artists from different practices and generations. Photographs by Vicente de Mello and interviews by João Vergara reveal the studio as a living archive, a laboratory, and an extension of each work.
Leston investigates the relationships between sound, image, code, and permanence. In dialogue with his research, we developed a visual identity and website that bring the system to the foreground. There is an interval in the gap between error, the blue screen, and code, and it is within this unstable space, between control and failure, that the project comes to life.
Cuba: Ficción y Fantasía spans more than three decades of the country’s artistic production. Across different generations and languages, the exhibition reveals how imagination, spirituality, humor, and criticism become ways of reinventing Cuban reality.
At Mirá, ancestral Japanese techniques, natural fermentation, and Brazilian ingredients turn bread into a territory of research and memory. It is an independent bakery built between tradition, discovery, time, and care.
