“Folguedo” means a popular festivity, in Brazil. The word brings together the ideas of acknowledgement and interconnections and shows that notions like learning, having fun, creating and sharing go together.
This is the leading concept of our activities. Since 2005 we work with education, culture, art and science, creating innovative and accessible experiences that join expography, scenography, design, technology and creative content.
We have developed more than 60 projects for exhibitions, actions, events, festivals, museums, brands, websites, signage and space humanization. Our studio covers the whole workflow from the conception to the final product, wether in our own projects or in partnership with the client.
Only our enthusiasm for the next project is bigger than our trajectory!
Claudia Alencar
Claudia has been close to art since she lived amidst the filmrolls, cameras and projectors of her grandfather. Many movies, books, trips, shows and museums inspired her and turned her into an open, versatile and daring production designer. Scenography offered her the ideal place to cultivate and share her interest for the arts. In this position she was able to transit through several areas, languages and subjects. After 25 years as a set designer for TV Globo, Claudia realized that educational, scientific and corporate projects can have a more artistic and funny look, and so she created Folguedo.
Leo Bungarten
Leo started his career as an actor, on stage, but his management vision – or the desire to make things work – took him backstage. He entered the world of scenography through theater and dance, and never stopped, guided by his interest in culture, accessibility and education. He joins strategic thinking with a taste for handicrafts and nature. Architect, urban planner and partner of Folguedo since 2005, Leo brings his multiple profiles to the management and planning of our projects.
Juliana Câmara
Architect and designer, Ju is always connected to new movements and trends. In her college years, she divided her time between classes at UFF, restoration, urbanism, residence and school projects, and the rehearsals of her band. Partner of Folguedo since 2010, she has extensive experience in design and exhibition management. She values functionality, beauty, accessibility and simplicity in her 3D designs. She feels inspired by people, music and art to create the best solutions for Folguedo’s projects.
Joyce Oliveira
Design student at ESDI/UERJ with technical training in multimedia, Joyce is very interested in fashion as a form of expression and identity. She likes to create through materials, dedicating herself to handicrafts since she was a child. Currently she has sewing, crafts and carpentry as hobbies in her free time. Since 2018 she is a designer at Folguedo, working out the graphic design of our projects. She develops interactive tools such as educational games, as well as audiovisual content and social media.
