Rafa Rojas — Colors of a Grey City
São Paulo with its more than 12 million residents is considered a chaotic and grey city for its large amount of buildings and little space for walls with art and culture. The proposal of "Colors of a Grey City" is to dismantle the city in a minimalist way (when possible) and with many colors, contrasting with the usual image of the city.
Rafa Rojas (Santo André, SP, 1989) is a photographer, curator, and editor. In 2021, he published the book "Underground Stories." In 2022, he co-created the magazine “Imagem Vertigem,” and in 2023, he was the editor of the book "Minhocão de Cima a Baixo" as well as the editor and curator of “Imagem Vertigem” #2. In 2024, he was the editor and curator of the book “Liberdade da Praça ao Teatro,” the magazine “Imagem Vertigem” #3, and the book "STAA - Sequelas," by photographer Rogério Vieira. He participated in group exhibitions such as “Mirares – Longevidade” in 2021 and “Mirares – Fotografia Urbana” in 2023. In 2024, he took part in the group exhibition “Happening Happenstance” in Tokyo. His work has been published in LensCulture, Noice Magazine, Street Photography Magazine, PhotoVogue, The Avenue Magazine, BROAD Magazine, Reset Chile, Revista Ampolleta Roja, as well as other Brazilian publications and exhibitions.
