Street Basket
By Jacob Langvad Nilsson (email) — January 18th, 2008
At BOLA Sociology Design, we’re planning to publish a printed magazine every half year. Over the past 5 months, I’ve been working on and off on the first issue which will uncover the street-basket culture in Brazil. The Street-basket culture is a interesting cultural manifestation started in North American suburbs among black youngsters. In the beginning it was as a kind of resistance and exaltation of their black inheritance. In Brazil, where Streetball is closely related to the Hip Hop movement, the search for the African background restores, in many ways, the self confidence in young suburban kids. It gives them a social role in which they feel integrated to a much broader community. Trying to understand such culture is a way to investigate how the black culture, which is so important to the Brazilian formation, manifests itself and interacts with other social manifestations in the country. Working with an anthologist, a journalist and a graphic designer, the first issue will be out Q1 2008.

Moving to São Paulo
By Jacob Langvad Nilsson (email) — March 3rd, 2007
So, the time has come to move to Brazil. The whole last week I worked hard to finish all the projects I was working on, packing my stuff and close everything down in Copenhagen. Arrived to São Paulo a few days ago and moved into the apartment I’m renting the first month. It’s a old 24th floor penthouse apartment located in downtown São Paulo. Attaching a picture of the view from my window. São Paulo is an big, big city. Unofficially, 20 million people are living here. If you love burning hot concrete, tropical rain and traffic chaos, this is the place to be.
