Hi everyone! I’ve been slowly cooking up Topo Club for a while now, and I’m finally soft launching it this weekend with its very first (photo)walk in collaboration with @mas_nyc . It was originally meant to be part of the Jane’s Walk festival back in May, but life had other plans—so here we are now.
Rooted in topophilia (love for place) and genius loci (spirit of the place), Topo Club is the result of years of thinking about how we connect to our surroundings—how our identities are shaped by them, how and why we grow attached to certain spaces. Here, walking becomes a way to research and reimagine our bonds with places.

It invites immigrants and foreigners to reflect on sense of place, identity, and belonging while engaging in playful, photo-based exercises.

We talk with Brazilian-Portuguese photographer & ICP Alum Manuela Lourenço on "Trabalho de Formiguinha," or "Hard Ant's Work" in the process of photography & its relation to space, memory, and presence.
Her background as an architect is central to her artistic practice and keeps her focused on the lived and everyday spaces. From domestic spaces, cities, and urban structures to nature, her work explores the intertwinement of personal identity and belonging, to understand what makes us feel affection and connected to a place.
"I’m connecting with people, nurturing relationships, and planting seeds for longer-term ideas—some collaborative, some more personal."

Photos from my solo road trip through Scotland in June last year.
I drove from Dunfermline to Mallaig and stopped in Glencoe on the way.
Scotland's weather matched my emotions, while also delivering magical rainbows and beautiful rays of sun (not shown here) during breaks in the rain. It was also my first time driving on the other side of the road. I was scared as hell: my perception of the car against the curb, in relation to other cars, everything was new, just like the new reality I was starting to uncover at the time. My brother had passed away two months before. I felt so raw. I also remember the joy of moving along the road, feeling more confident little by little, and being mesmerized by that strange gray beauty.
Portrayed here are photos of a river valley somewhere near Glencoe (I remember driving as far as I could on the first day, on a single-lane road cutting through the valley, before I realized I was lost, had no reception, and should probably turn around and make my way to the B&B) and the surrounding beaches of Mallaig.
All shot on a Mamiya 645 with Portra 400.
P.S. "Let Me Roll It" was the soundtrack to my driving, on endless repeat. My companion.

Happy I got to photograph it!

Retrato pelo @lgpretti quando eu ainda tinha cabelo e outras brincadeiras com meus amigos, explorando o flash e o reflexo na água. Saudade de brincar com meus amigos 🤎

O arquivo imenso da Rita e do Paulo, o casal de colecionadores por trás da @letreirogaleria na Fundição de Oeiras.
Had the privilege of visiting their archive and photographing it from many angles after my parents serendipitously met the couple at a restaurant in Lisbon last July. They showed us their extensive collection and all their wonderful work rescuing and safeguarding signs, from old buildings and businesses about to close down. Their collection, currently housed in a warehouse at the former Fundição de Oeiras factory, an important landmark soon to be dismantled and converted into real estate, spans many decades and styles. Their grassroots work is a labor of passion, preserving the history of wayfinding and graphic design in 20th-century Portugal.
Thank you to mom and dad for always talking to strangers everywhere we go and serving special encounters and to Rita and Paulo for showing us a good time!

On my first day in New York, I wandered around Prospect Park's waterways.
In 2024, @tota.bara and I decided to collaborate on a photo shoot. These photos have been sitting on my computer for too long. Here they are. An ode to collaborating more with friends 🪲🌿💚🫛❇️

5 anos de Nuevayol hoje...nunca imaginei chegar nessa marca. Tampouco sei o que imaginei. Vim para ficar um ano, passou duas semanas e eu já sabia que queria ficar mais um depois do fim do @icp . Aí, botei na cabeça, tenho que ficar pelo menos o tempo que meu pai ficou (3 anos na década de 80). Aí, bati essa marca e quando tava para bater 4, tudo mudou e eu vivo esse não saber: ficar ou voltar? Se você me perguntasse há duas semanas atrás ou um mês, vc quer ficar? Eu responderia com um não assertivo. Mas como tudo, as coisas se renovam, a fé se renova e o encanto retorna. A verdade é que amo Nova York. É punk, mas é mágica também. Amo as pessoas de todos os cantos do mundo que cruzam meu caminho. Amo quem me tornei aqui. Essa cidade me fez adulta com A maiúsculo. Que sabor especial ser autora, criar uma vida do zero num lugar novo; descobrir novos cantos, vencer a burocracia em outra língua, em outro país, com outras regras. E à isso sou eternamente grata...à mim mesma e à essa cidade e à todo mundo que me ajuda nessa caminhada. A ver qual o próximo milestone. Por hora, mais un verano en Nuevayol.
