SYNOPSIS

In Ouvidor, the largest art squat in Latin America, 120 artists from various countries coexist in a vibrant micro-society in São Paulo, where each of the 13 floors functions as a distinct neighborhood dedicated to a different form of artistic expression. As they resist constant eviction threats, internal tensions are fueled by Red Bull’s sponsorship of their Art Biennial.
