MEO Kalorama // Diogo Potes | Filippo Fiumani | Halfstudio | Kruella d’Enfer | Unidigrazz | Vai Dar Pitanga 2023

Titled “Time Capsule”, Underdogs' curatorial programme for MEO Kalorama 2023 featured original works by six artists/collectives: Kruella d'Enfer, who took over the main MEO stage; Halfstudio on the San Miguel stage; Diogo Potes on the Samsung stage; an artistic installation by Filippo Fiumani supported by Via Verde; an artistic workshop by Vai Dar Pitanga sponsored by Valor Sul; and an artistic intervention by Unidigrazz in collaboration with Rádio Comercial. Together, these works formed a narrative about the past, the present and the future.

For the first edition of MEO Kalorama in 2022, Underdogs brought AkaCorleone's “Temple of Light” to the main stage, along with an exhibition of Underdogs editions and a collaborative workshop with artist Madalena Pequito. After the festival, as part of its sustainability campaign, the canvas created by AkaCorleone was repurposed by Raquel Belli for the creation of art editions. This socially-minded project was also curated by Underdogs and organized in partnership with the association Chelas é o Sítio.
