In the waterfront neighborhood of Santo Cristo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, an artistic revolution has been growing in an unexpected corner.
Built in 1934, Fabrica Bhering was once a chocolate factory.
Today, the 20,000-square-meter (215,280 square feet) building is home to local artisans, sculptors and painters.
“There’s a great variety, ranging from the furniture maker to the copy machine operator, to clothing designers from Cape Verde,” says resident sculptor Barrão.
