(DES)OCUPAÇÃO
GRAPHIC DESIGN
DES(OCUPAÇÃO) (DEOCCUPY) WAS THE NAME OF A PROJECT BY A CHOREOGRAPHER SARA BARROS LEITÃO OF ARTISTS FROM PORTO, CALLED “THE BIG FIGURE”. THE PORTO MUNICIPAL THEATRE INVITED THIS COLLECTIVE TO CREATE A FREE PROJECT FOR THE THEATRE.
DES(OCUPAÇÃO) IS THE IDEA OF BRINGING ALL ARTISTS, CHOREOGRAPHERS THAT HADN’T BEEN BOOKED BY THE THEATRE TOGETHER AND CREATE SOMETHING ALL COLLECTIVELY. THEY CHOSE TO INITIATE THIS BY DOING AN OPEN CALL NAMED “SALÃO DOS RECUSADOS” (REJECTED HALL). FOR THIS PROJECT, THEY HIRED ME TO HELP THEM TO DESIGN STREET POSTERS, CIRCULARS, DIGITAL ASSETS FOR SOCIAL MEDIA AND A WEBSITE. TO EMBODY THEIR CONCEPT I CHOSE TO WEAVE TOGETHER VISUAL MARKERS OF POLITICAL PROTEST, DISTORTED ASPECTS OF THEATRICAL POSTER DESIGN, PROPAGANDA, AND DIGITAL ART.
