Ouvidor | Dokumentale 2025

In the organizer's words:

In the heart of São Paulo, in the squatted Haus Ouvidor, over 120 artists are fighting for survival. The "house between times", home and creative epicenter at the same time, is under constant threat of eviction orders. The struggle for resources and the organization of an exhibition comes to a head when an offer from Red Bull divides the community. Art meets resistance, personal ambitions collide with collective aspirations, and the question of independence vs. commercialization sparks an untamed conflict.
