Porto Rocha Founders Share Weekend Picks: Duchamp Retrospective, Whole Festival, and More
In a recent interview with It's Nice That, Porto Rocha founders Leo Porto and Felipe Rocha revealed their weekend favorites. They are eagerly awaiting the Whole Festival in Germany, a queer music event showcasing over 150 DJs, for which they crafted the visual identity. Additionally, they look forward to the Marcel Duchamp retrospective at MoMA, marking the first significant US exhibition in more than 50 years. Their current reading list includes András Szántó's The Future of the Art World: 38 Dialogues and the newly available Whole Earth Catalog archive. Their favorite dining spots are Misi Pasta in Williamsburg and Braseiro da Gávea in Rio. They are also enjoying the new season of Jury Duty (Company Retreat) and plan to watch Bi Gan's film Resurrection. Music favorites include Rosalía, with excitement for her Lux tour in Barcelona, and the Syrian Cassette Archives. They are also interested in Tom of Finland Foundation bookends created with Taschen and the 2026 Brazilian World Cup jersey designed by their friend Raquel Denti at Nike. A highlight of their weekend was acquiring a fresco by artists Rosie Hastings and Hannah Quinlan for their London office.
