For this episode, we teamed up with Nike and The Fairest to peek into the safe sanctuary that is the studio of artist Rafaella Braga.
Berlin and New York-based artist Rafaella Braga has constructed her world in the beginning through graffiti. The idea of belonging, conquest and demarcation of territory started with street language and was supported by groups and trends in Brazil’s local scene. What used to be the street’s pictorial act was transformed into the internal space. In her studio in Treptow, she has been developing and materializing her ideas mostly on large scale canvases that can take up entire walls. The four walls are now her diary. And to her, painting is a spiritual practice of self-reflection and release.
Benjamin Patch is a Berlin-based designer, ceramic artist and former professional athlete. He founded be.assembly, a collective of designers, craftsmen and artists in 2020. Benjamin’s earthworks seem to hold a power that transcends impermanence.

Each shape, line or texture he explores is a reflection of his history and connection to the world around him.
In our latest interview, Voo and On speak to the artist about his creative path and embracing the unknown of ceramics.
