Davartos
(Description)
Davartos is a studio based in São Paulo, focused on housing creatives for different kinds of media - ranging from independent creations like painting, writing, and composing music, to a full-fledged culmination of multifaceted creations brought together in the form of an upcoming narrative game - a cRPG with unique worldbuilding, set in a country inspired by Brazil and similar neighbouring countries. All is created with critique in mind, through studying great Latin American thinkers of the 20th and 21st century in mind, such as Darcy Ribeiro, Sergio Buarque de Holanda, and Oswald de Andrade. As for the work itself, the method is inspired by the latter's Manifesto Antropófago, meaning that culture from all around the world is devoured and digested into something new and authentically Latino.

(Our Impact)
Davartos entered the project without a name. The studio had the work, the thinkers, the game in progress — everything except the surface that would make it legible to the outside. Naming and identity gave the studio a single thing to point to, whether it's a canvas, a manuscript, or a cRPG build in progress. The brand holds the breadth without flattening it. A studio that devours culture and digests it into something new needed an identity that could survive the same test.
