Atravessemos! - Portrait de la ville de São Paulo was created following a study trip to São Paulo in September 2022 by the Atelier danse performance of the Beaux-Arts de Paris, directed by Emmanuelle Huynh. She then invited visual artist Jocelyn Cottencin to continue the collaboration they had begun in 2016 around city portraits.
Nine students from the Beaux-Arts de Paris met with ten student artists from the Pontifical University of São Paulo to share their daily lives, memories, history and fiction.
