Luccas Morais

Luccas Morais is a visual artist and researcher based in São Paulo. His practice explores the relationships between image, body, fabric, and popular culture, drawing from fashion, television, print media, and digital circulation.

This guide starts from the idea of presenting a São Paulo experienced through everyday life: moving between cultural centers, public spaces, swimming pools, free cinemas, and districts like Brás. Together, these places reveal the city through its flows, contrasts, encounters, and ways of living alongside one another.

Sesc 24 de Maio

A multi-floor cultural space with free art exhibitions, a concert hall, great food, and a genuine escape from the heat - a full sensory experience under one roof. The top floor is the real reward: sit by the reflective pool, dip your toes in, and stare out at the skyline.

ROTA DAS COLEÇÕES

A space shaped by old objects, popular visual culture, excess, and material memory. Walking through its collections of packaging, miniatures, and artifacts feels like moving through a living archive of images.

Planetário do Carmo

A place of projection, darkness, and collective imagination. Watching cosmic images unfold across the dome creates a feeling of suspension from the rhythms of the city outside.

Brás

More than a commercial district, Brás is an intense experience of circulation: fabric, plastic, imagery, crowds, and popular visual culture all colliding at once. It's an important place for thinking about reproduction, desire, and movement within the urban landscape.
