Grafica Fidalga
Grafica Fidalga, a printing press in São Paulo, Brazil, makes posters on a 1929 German letterpress using hand-carved wooden letters. In this video, we visit the trio of friends who make up Grafica Fidalga to watch them make a poster we commissioned for our 99% conference. Called "lambe lambe," the lightweight paper used for the posters was designed for wheat-pasting and, before São Paulo's "clean city" initiative, could be found throughout the city. Thanks to the gallery Choque Cultural, who regularly makes posters for their shows with Grafica Fidalga, they've been able to stay alive but they could still use more help.

Trailer Park is a portable, natural, public park housed inside a Coachmen Travel Trailer. The interior is fully planted, designed, and treated as a "real" park.

L'art brut
Until recently, "outsider art" - the creative output of the handicapped, psychotics or the criminally insane was a secret form of art. But that's all changing. "We want them to develop their personalities and abilities. Art is a therapy", explains instructor Klaud Mecherlein. L'art Brut or 'Outsider Art' is art entirely free from formal artistic rules. It challenges both how we tend to view such "outsiders" in our communities and our expectations of what art should be about.
