Projeto Estúdio Valongo
[Estúdio Valongo Project], 2011
Residents and frequent visitors of the Valongo quarter, in downtown Santos (SP), were invited to complete, with a maximum of seven colors, a 4x4-inch diagram comprising 64 circles (8 x 8). After enlarged and screen-printed, the drawings were pasted to walls around the neighborhood in alphabetical order by name of author. The modules, thus, were transformed into graphic murals, visual elements that establish a dialog with the architecture of this historic part of the city.
