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.
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.
With electric bicycles and self-propelled vehicles, baiq turns getting around into a more fluid, intelligent, conscious, and free experience. We developed the naming, branding, visual identity, brand applications across the products, and initial communication support, all of which carry this idea of movement forward.
By Chance is a platform-artwork created to generate combinations and sets from keywords randomly drawn from collections created or curated by the artist. Like dice cast in a game of chance, these words follow specific instructions and reveal unexpected connections, opening paths for creative processes across different fields—from visual arts to education, music to literature.
“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.
