PROUD SOUTH is a mesmerizing visual experience that celebrates the creative forces from the southern parts of the planet. Through the colourful and expressive lens of contemporary fashion, photography, styling, and art, Lidewij Edelkoort in collaboration with Lili Tedde and Mariola Lopez Mariño bring together emerging and established talents from wide and far, illustrating that the axis of global creativity has indeed dramatically shifted. Similarly, UXUA UTOPIA is a collector’s object that reinvents the coffee-table book by combining the lifestyle elements of design, art, food, craft, and travel to explore the Uxua hotel’s achievements in establishing humanitarian values for a new world; a very local project in Brazil that strives to create social impact.
