In its third year, Edgar de Souza brought forward his photographic documentary of "Bembe do Mercado".

Lavagem Expo 2011 Presents "Expressions" by Bel Borba

Bel Borba is a visual artist from Salvador da Bahia, Brazil. He initially became famous for his mosaics that can be seen in a great many neighborhoods throughout Salvador, but he works in a variety of (often mixed) media including acrylic paint, metals, digital renderings, ceramics and more. His work often has a humorous surrealistic quality.

The location of the Lavagem Expo is an excellent opportunity for sponsors to present and disclose products and promote tourism.

Your presence in this grand event, besides joining together in promoting Brazilian culture in an objective way, will leave its mark on the multicultural audience.

Our event receives extensive media coverage and great reviews.

Thank you
