Graffiti artists KOTK and JahOne on an art trip to Brazil

Graffiti artists KOTK and JahOne together with the producer Delyana Angelova, are going on an art journey in Brazil.

As part of its annual creative program in the field of street & mural art, VISIONARY will organize for the fifth consecutive year an international artistic exchange aimed at creating an intercultural dialogue, this year with Brazil, in the field of contemporary urban art. The event will be organized with the financial support of the National Culture Fund - Mobility 2025 program, and in partnership with the Embassy of Bulgaria in Brazil, Alma da Rua Gallery and Cuas Arte.

Within one month, the Bulgarian graffiti artists will create and explore in 4 cities in Brazil, integrating the popular culture of the exotic country into their unique styles. The group will work in several key locations in Brazil, popular with its vibrant street art scene.

The trip includes the solo exhibition KOTK 3.3 – Layer 2 by graffiti artist KOTK at the Alma da Rua gallery, one of the leading spaces for street culture and contemporary urban art in São Paulo. This is the second exhibition between Visionary and Alma da Rua after their first joint project in 2023.

In parallel with the exhibition, artists KOTK and JahOne will realize a series of murals in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, leaving a lasting mark in the public space with their unique artistic styles, presenting Bulgaria in a distinctive way.

The group will also take part in an artistic residency organized by Cuas Arte in the cities of Cunha and Parati, where the artists will explore local traditions, customs and visual codes, integrating them into their artistic practice.

Bulgarian artists will have the opportunity to exchange good practices with their colleagues in a country like Brazil - internationally recognized for its large-scale, socially engaged and institutionally supported mural culture. This is another opportunity to create sustainable cultural bridges between the Bulgarian and Brazilian street art scenes, to strengthen the international exchange of artists from both countries and to bring them closer despite the great geographical distance. Moreover, in the context of the rapidly developing scene of artistic interventions in urban environments and working with communities, the experience gained from this project can be successfully applied in Bulgaria.

Bulgarian fans will be able to follow the journey and share the emotion with the group in the different Brazilian cities through the social networks of KOTK and VISIONARY, where they will document their experience, experiences and meetings in real time.

The mobility of the Bulgarian group is funded by the National Culture Fund of Bulgaria, Mobility Programme 2025.
Partners of the project include Alma da rua Gallery, the Embassy of Bulgaria in Brazil, Cuas Arte, Los Amigos, Nou Colors, Chopp do Beco, and Gold LINE Tattoo.
