[ the challenge ]

Decades of journalism on Brazilian festivals, scattered across files and vulnerable to the next failed drive. The material existed. Nothing gave it a shape a reader could recognize.

Researchers, artists and curators had no way in, and the editorial team could not publish anything without a developer standing next to them.

Publishing system
[ the outcome ]

“One reading environment with a defined typographic code, and a structured festival archive underneath it.”

The identity and the machine were built together, because a publication that looks like itself and a publication anyone can update are the same problem seen twice. The staff publishes on its own now.

Every system encodes a belief. This one encodes that the law comes before the piece.
