ABOUT THE ARTIST

Albarte is a visual artist and creative director

from Complexo do Chapadão, North Zone of

Rio de Janeiro. Currently, his artistic practice

focuses on painting and creative direction.

His work delves into the intersection

between the favela's space and Black

corporeality, exploring Blackness as a central

point of culture and identity. He invites the

audience to embark on a visual journey that

honors, celebrates, and challenges the

marginal experience, fostering a crucial

dialogue about inclusion and social justice.

Verão Marginal (Marginal Summer)

It emerges as a subseries of the series "Onde Tudo Acontece"

(where everything happens) which unfolds as a multiplatform

artistic and cultural movement, bringing together, in addition to

visual arts, other forms of visual art (such as photography and

cinema), as well as other artistic branches, such as fashion and

music. 

​

This movement aims to give visibility to the cultures and

experiences of people living in areas far from the privileged

parts of the city of Rio de Janeiro, which are often globally

recognized when talking about the Rio de Janeiro summer. The

discussion revolves around the needs of these populations, but

above all, the solutions and leisure experiences lived by people

on the margins of the city — whether in their favelas and

outskirts, or in their journeys to the beaches of the South Zone.
