Niege Borges comes from the sometimes very cold, sometimes extremely hot south of Brazil, where she completed her graphic design studies in 2011. Niege currently calls Brooklyn her home. The work of the Brazilian, who has been working as a freelance graphic designer since 2013 and has worked for clients such as Unilever, Kia Motors, Ogilvy, Christie's, GE, IBM, Grantland, Visa, Shutterstock and Staples, is as colourful as the New York borough itself. Her series "Dancing Plague of 1518" - illustrated "dance manuals" for well-known film dance scenes - is reminiscent of an event that took place in 1518, but has certainly made the leap into the present day: Back then, around 400 inhabitants of Strasbourg went into a dancing frenzy that lasted for days. Today, this would be called a flash mob.
