After many hard hours of painting and installing, theartists were unleashed on New York for the launch of Ruas de São Paulo. Brazilian Beat Brooklyn provided great music as background for Zezao, Onesto and Titi Freak’s live painting performances and Beleza Pura and Sambazon hosted an open bar from 8-9pm. The party was a great opportunity for the artists and Choque Cultural owners to relax, meet new friends, and celebrate the exhibition.
Hiro Ballroom provided a the perfect setting for our launch. The upstairs lounge was a great place to hang out and watch the great dancing on the floor below.
The artists took the stage at 9pm and gave onlookers a firsthand view of their creative processes.

Titi Freak takes a break from all that hard work to entertain the crowd with some yo-yo skills. When he’s not painting the streets of São Paulo, Titi Freak is a champion yo yo-er and member of the Duncan Crew World-Wide!
After the artists completed their pieces, all attention was turned to the dance floor
