Pretagonismos shifts the way we look at the history of Brazilian art by foregrounding the presence, production, and narratives of Black artists in the collection of the Museu Nacional de Belas Artes. With more than one hundred works, the exhibition moves away from traditional chronology to build relationships among representation, decoloniality, identity, and historical reparation. The space asserts the right of Black people to exercise agency over their own narratives and to occupy the center—not the margins—of the country’s artistic and cultural production. Design and architecture work as a single reading structure: artworks, names, and stories gain presence so that another panorama of Brazilian art can emerge—broader, more critical, and, above all, necessary.
Led by IMPA, Impa Tech is a college dedicated to applied mathematics. Its identity balances two temporalities: the solidity of an institution born with a classical vocation and the openness of a future-facing digital modernism.
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.
Encruzilhadas: We Believe in Street Corners brought together seven sound offerings by 29 Brazilian artists. 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.
FORMS brings culture, science, education, and activism together to co-create experiences and rehearse possible futures. Collaboration and collective intelligence generate sounds, colors, materials, and forms for an identity in continuous construction, capable of evolving in dialogue with each experience.
