Belo Horizonte (MG)

Noite Branca no Parque

[White Night in the Park], 2012

Portilho created a modular signage system with backlit cardboard boxes to guide the flow of people and identify activities held in the municipal park of Belo Horizonte. In 2012, it was the venue for Noite Branca, a cultural event open to the public that was visited by 100 thousand people in twelve hours. The assembling of the pieces, which included taking away the pre-cut circular cardboard employed to form letters and pictograms, was executed collaboratively following the instructions given in a workshop that Portillo conducted.
