Rio Carnival
Salgueiro and Vila Isabel Samba School Costumes for Rio Carnival Parade. Salgueiro recreates their interpretation of heaven and Hell. They explore the process of leaving hell and travelling on a journey to enter into Heaven. Vila Isabel interprets the Colour of Sound and how different cultures explore sound via appearance.
Costumes below are what I worked on.
Below video clips of both schools full parade:
