Illustration for AFROPUNK Experience 2025

Original illustration developed as the key visual for the Rio de Janeiro edition of AFROPUNK Experience 2025, the largest Black culture festival in the world. The proposal was to translate the strength of Rio’s Black culture, uniting AFROPUNK’s global spirit with the symbolic and everyday essence of the city.

The composition balances globally recognized icons—such as the Arcos da Lapa, the Copacabana boardwalk, and Morro Dois Irmãos—with elements of the “inner Rio,” including the Madureira Viaduct, the Sapucaí Sambadrome, funk parties, street markets, and characters that express music, style, and resistance. The result is a celebration of the diverse and powerful presence of Black culture in Rio de Janeiro.
