For one week starting tomorrow, Brazil is bringing a slice of its beauty and color to London. Bárbara Wagner exhibits her work at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) from the 12th of April, carrying photographs that capture the urban beach of Brasília Teimosa. Screaming bold colours, stark shapes and oodles of light depict supposedly flawed standards of beauty, revealing a sense of joy in a world that requires an enormous amount of strength and character.

As Bárbara says, “a Sunday at the beach with music and dancing can bring to light subjects that are rarely dealt with by the media, which flattens and stigmatises the margins of society”.

Kicking off the week is the 10th celebration of Batmacumba — the longest running Brazilian club night in England that was started by DJ Cliffy at the (ICA). Aiming to corner the contemporary Brazilian culture market, never did DJ Cliffy imagine that it would become a benchmark for the Brazilian scene in London. On the 12th of April, Batmacumba kicks by also documenting the fantastic city of Recife showing short films and photography from one of Brazil’s most stimulating areas.

Mark your calendars: the No 1’s Done It Right collective presents their third charity event, Cherry Blossoms, on April 16th. Get sprung for the spring, as the event showcases the latest collections from designers Kathy Misick, Brian Wood, Pastry, BKc (The Brooklyn Circus), Miss Bruno, and Cranberry.

The evening also features live performances by new-wave/jazzmatic band HEAVy and hip-hop new schooler Mickey Factz. Get there on time for gift bags and giveaways, and stick around for sets by Kev Sakoda, Brina Payne, and DJ Treats on the wheels.

Everything kicks off at The Delancey in Manhattan next Wednesday for a measly 5 bucks. You don’t want to miss this one…
