Thirteen artists gathered in a historic villa overlooking Rio, taking in the city’s sounds, colors, and contradictions. Days were spent tracing the threads of Brazilian modernism, samba, Tropicalia, and funk. At night, the villa came alive with bursts of energy and experimentation, moments where conversations turned into creation.
Photographs by Dave Krugman capture this exchange, offering a glimpse of Rio’s spirit as it moved through the artists and their work.
