“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.
Planetary Embassy imagines a form of diplomacy between humans, nature, and other living forces. In Belém, New York, Tokyo, and other territories, art, science, technology, and Indigenous knowledge came together in a space for listening, guided by patterns generated from natural sounds.
Play is an open-access arts festival that approaches childhood and youth in a diverse, participatory way. By bringing education, culture, and the city closer together, it recognizes children and young people as agents of new ways of learning and occupying space.
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.
Created by RADDAR for the Chicago Architecture Biennial, Our Second Skin transforms more than 2,200 pieces of glass-manufacturing waste into a translucent skin. We developed the project’s visual identity and poster, seeking to graphically represent this relationship between transparency, opacity, surface, architecture, and transformation.
