Ariano Suassuna: The Joyful Knight of the Sertão

About the Archive

The Graphic Design and Visual Culture Archive of Northeast Brazil was founded by Alagoas-born designer and art director Victor Yves, sparked by a simple frustration: the visual memory of the Brazilian Northeast was scattered, offline, or hidden in personal collections, rarely accessible to the wider world.

This Archive exists to change that.

It is a collaborative, ever-growing digital repository dedicated to gathering, preserving, and celebrating the rich visual production of Northeast Brazil, from the 1950s to today. Here, you’ll find posters that shaped public squares, record covers that defined generations, books, publications, packaging, street signage, hand-carved woodcuts, cordel literature, photographs of graphic works, behind-the-scenes processes, interviews, oral histories, and critical essays. The Archive also connects with other collections, institutions, and cultural initiatives that help illuminate this vast creative landscape.
