Tenda is bronze in the Digital Design category of the 13th edition of the Brazilian Design Award! For the second time we were awarded at the biggest design award in the country! This year, we competed and won with our website, which had the concept of updating the visual identity designed and coordinated by our co-directors Laura Astrolabio and Hannah Maruci and masterfully executed by the wonderful designer Stephanie Gonçalves.

The concept comes from an Afrofuturist perspective with a lot of love to illustrate the politics of the future that we believe in. A Tenda’s visual identity is in constant transformation, so its visuality is updated from an Afrofuturist perspective, which allows us to imagine new futures, in which the black population has due protagonism.

Remembering that in 2021 the visual identity project for the first season of A Tenda, by designer Marina Zilmer, won silver in the Positive Impact Design category at the same award.

The visual identity of the A Tenda das Candidatas project was developed by designer Marina Zilbersztejn during the collective creation of the project, where the name and elements that would be part of this identity in the first season, which took place in 2020, were thought of.

“The visual identity of A Tenda was designed based on the conception of the structure of a tent and its implications: a temporary structure, which can be quickly assembled and appears to interfere with the programmed flow, the calculated itinerary: when you least expect it, A Tent is pitched halfway. An open and democratic structure, capable of housing a lot of people, with no doors or locks: it can be accessed from all sides or crossed.

The graphics and icons were inspired by its components – rods, plastic angles and fittings, canvas – which need to be fitted correctly to, ultimately, offer protection and support. But the assembly of its pieces is done collectively: a group of professionals are the ones who fit these pieces together until the tent is firm.”

Niterói City Hall, through the Human Rights Secretariat, awarded A Tenda das Candidatas in the Traditional Peoples category of the II Human Rights Award “Councilman Renatinho”, an award that values ​​actions based on Human Rights and pays tribute to councilor Renatinho.
