Abstract

This visual essay emerges from walks and observations carried out in the central region of São Paulo during the first part of 2025, revealing the socio-spatial tensions that permeate the city center, marked by real estate speculation and the exhaustion of residents in situations of vulnerability. The city, which should welcome, connect, and protect, instead produces exclusions and invisibilities. The street, transformed into a stage of dispute and resistance, unveils an unequal choreography of being and existing.
