Installed in a historically occupied public space, the project reinforced the legacy of grassroots skate culture and Afro-Brazilian heritage through architectural design.

Final academic article for the Cultural Project Management postgraduate program at CELACC/USP focused on curatorial strategies for Brazilian independent music in the digital age. The research critically examines how algorithmic curation on Spotify and TikTok impacts the visibility and sustainability of peripheral music scenes. Through a case study on DJ Ramon Sucesso and references to critical interculturality (Catherine Walsh) and interdependence (Mat Dryhurst), the study proposes alternative curatorial practices that resist homogenization and promote cultural equity in global music circuits.
