“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.
Festival Teal Brasil brings together networks, practices, and inspiration to imagine more whole organizations. Like teal thinking itself, its shifting identity reflects an evolving field and is organized in layers: graphics overlap, shift in relation to one another, and produce ever-changing configurations, while content remains at the center.
Childhood is not preparation for life; it is life itself unfolding. With this in mind, we worked with Espaço Envolvimento on a careful rebranding process, moving through conceptual and strategic stages and arriving at a visual expression that reflects the school’s new moment.
“I think you should dream the earth, because it has a heart and breathes.” The sentence that opens the book also opens the editorial project, guiding an open visual identity that breathes, welcomes, and warms. Terra Sem Males connects the Guarani myth of a life without suffering with the work of ten artists. Written by João Vergara, the book weaves together art, history, and imagination to ask how we might live better on an imperfect earth.
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.
