SP Brutalista

SP Brutalista is a series of 7 multimedia performative actions as a manifest against the gentrification of São Paulo. It was developed as an ongoing creative practice from 2015 to 2018, in which I explored strategies such as “self-demarcation”, use of body-extension, blogging and regular urban interventions in my hometown. Embodied-urban conflicts as abandonment, exhaustion and exile were reported by the audience or bystanders. The name “SP Brutalista” is a tribute to the work “Manhattan Brutalista” of the Brazilian visual artist Hélio Oiticica.
