Celebrating Carnival in Rio’s City Center with @tatiruediger

(This interview was conducted in Portuguese.)

Tatiana Ruediger (@tatiruediger) grew up in Rio de Janeiro, but she didn’t fall in love with #Carnaval until a few days ago, after experiencing her first street parades in the city’s center. “These traditional street parades are totally different from other celebrations I’ve been to,” the 26-year-old sociology graduate student and photographer explains. “The energy is phenomenal and people are really there for the parade and the music.” In the spirit of the festivities, Tatiana plans to morph into a unicorn or mermaid. “I love costumes because you let go of your serious day-to-day persona and indulge your inner desires.”
