“Encruzilhadas: We Believe in Street Corners” brought together seven sound offerings by 29 Brazilian artists. The exhibition invited the whole body to listen to scenes, voices, sounds, and expressions, turning the street corner—that place at the edge—into a gathering point for cosmologies. With our feet on the ground and our eyes on the sky, we set out to develop an identity born from the idea of representing the present moment: a mix of the power of ancestral rites and sound technologies, guided by one path—the presence of Exu in every creation. To visually translate the exhibition’s concept, we created a symbolic universe of images directly or indirectly connected to the orixá, bringing this entire crossroads together in a single place: the now.
