A Friendly Match: Buenos Aires vs São Paulo

A lot of visitors have traveled to this side of the world lately because of World Cup in Brazil. Not sure how the coverage of this major sport event has been reported internationally but since Argentina and Brazil have been decades-old football rivalries, comparisons between them were made often in local media. Even outside of the football world, given we are neighboring countries and we are home to the 2 biggest and most notable cities in South America, Buenos Aires and São Paulo respectively, it is unavoidable from being compared from time to time.

Inspired by the Paris vs New York project , Brazilian illustrator Vivian Mota did just that but in a playful and artsy way. A friendly “illustrated battle”, as she put it, of Sampa (a nickname of São Paulo) and Buenos Aires. New ones are constantly created and added to the collection and you can check them out and even buy prints through the Sampa vs Buenos project website here.

These are some of our favorites!
