Creepy Exhibition
Shame on me…two whole years living in London and I never knew that the V&A (one of my favorites museums) held a Museum of Childhood! If I knew, I’d probably never visit the site, claiming ‘it’s a child’s thing’…
True. The V&A Museum of Childhood has a collection of objects and toys that come all the way from the sixteenth century to the present...

Papelaria, meaning stationery in Portuguese, is a Brazilian brand based in São Paulo that obviously produces all sorts of paper and office supplies, writing implements , pencil cases, boxes, notebooks, gifts etc. However, the creations are far away from the boring black notebooks and it feels like they come out of a factory in wonderland!

In his latest works, Micallef mixes dark and heavy fragments of the human form with a childish environment and color palette. These mixture certainly gives a intriguing atmosphere to the pieces.

Exquisite press breakfast at the Cinemateca Brasileira on Tuesday morning.

Excêntrico café da manhã para imprensa na Cinemateca Brasileira nesta terça-feira. O local em si já bastaria para um café fora do comum…um dos pontos mais charmosos e bem conservados da história de São Paulo – além de ser um dos maiores acervos de filmes da América Latina. Enquanto tomava meu café e lia o press release, tentava decifrar do que realmente se tratava essa coletiva de...
