Your order is on the way
(February 2025)


Commissioned by BuildHollywood and the Royal Academy of Arts, Your order is on the way invited Brazilian migrants working on the delivery industry to recreate paintings by famous Brazilian modernist artists that were part of the RA’s exhibition “Brasil! Brasil! The Birth of Modernism”. 

The project aimed at exploring questions related to national identity, labour, change, tradition, innovation and migration (important topics for the Brazilian modernist movement) from the perspective of contemporary Brazilian migrants in the UK. Also, while keeping the images’ original composition as a reference, the new versions present a slightly celebratory tone, as these invididuals often wish to distance themselves from a simplified “lamenting aesthetic” end are usually proud of who they are and how they managed to consolidate their lives in London. 

Main images were showcased outside the Camden Market and billboards were spread all around London.
