MTN MIXTAPES: CAROL DRAGONFLY

Carol Dragonfly was born and raised in the east side of São Paulo, in the 2000s she began her visual and experimental contact with pixação and a tag. She has observed and chosen metropolis writing as a therapy.  
The beginning of her activities as a “writer” took place in 2012 and since then she has been discovering and learning new techniques and ways of using communication with the colors and shapes of the letters. Graffiti, dance, music, have always been present in her life, daughter of a guitar teacher, she grew up listening to jazz,rock and pop she learned to dance and sing since she was little, and learned that artistic expressions would be the way she wanted to follow. Today she is one of the most active female writers in São Paulo, leaving her throw ups wherever she goes with her lyrics that have become one of the strongest parts of her personality.

Nuart Aberdeen ‘23 Line-up Revealed

Nuart Aberdeen is back in full force this year with yet another stellar line up to grace the streets of Scotland’s “Granite City.” The theme for this year’s festival is “Rewilding,” a subject that touches on many issues related to “Trespass and Transgression,” a topic extensively explored by the ingenious Nuart Journal associates during the past year. “As anyone who knows me will profess, getting quotes from me is like getting blood from a stone – not because I have anything particular against quotes, and I’m aware it’s possibly some deep-seated insecurity about the value of my ideas – but looking at this year’s program I couldn’t be happier, so here it is.
