“to belém & back” global launch


Vanessa Bumagny's pocket show was a delight!“To Belém & Back,” for its global launch in downtown São Paulo, Brazil, was honored by a large turnout for a one-night art intervention, which included a photo exhibit (of images from the journey), a pocket show by Brazilian star and singer Vanessa Bumagny, the book’s launch video, and book signings by the author. Thanks to all who attended, who sent best wishes, and who took the book home with them!  [please hover over images for captions]
