Comuna is a production collective and a pioneering project space. It emerged in 2012 inspired by the desire to create structures that could serve for the experimentation of cultural practices that would contribute to new formats of congregation and collaboration around independent art made in Rio. Comuna sought to carry out this mission through the occupation and management of a house in the Botafogo neighbourhood that through it's 9 years of existence, hosted different initiatives and activities (artists studio, gallery, bookstore, multi-brand store, parties, concerts, fairs, etc.). In this process, it established itself as an award-winning bar and restaurant, becoming a meeting point for entrepreneurs, local artists and overall food, music, publishing, art and fashion enthusiasts. Outside it's headquarters, Comuna signed the production of more than 60 events through several partnerships with other groupings like Selvagem, Mamba Negra, Dekmantel, A Bolha Editora, A Junta Local, among others.

My role I co-founded Comuna and was part of its management team, articulating strategies, ideas and visions that allowed for a unique project design to navigate between cultural space, production enterprise, restaurant and brand. I was also director of it's programming, which for 9 years had weekly activities such as parties, concerts, exhibitions, educational gatherings and other initiatives brought in from Rio's artistic network.
