In this three-hour workshop, Rafaela Pinah leads an immersion into the world of "bate-bolas" (a type of carnival float), articulating tradition and innovation through the concept of "Deep Brazil." The workshop begins with discussions about the symbolism, aesthetics, and sociocultural impact of this carnival manifestation, creating conceptual foundations for the development of contemporary visual narratives.

Throughout the activity, participants are invited to reimagine the aesthetic codes of the "bate-bolas" through practices such as glitch art, speculative design, and urban surrealism, with continuous guidance throughout the creative process. The resulting works may be presented at the Museum of Tomorrow and Casa Tok, establishing connections between distinct and complementary cultural realities.
