INHALE is a cultural platform where artists are presented, where great projects are given credit and readers find inspiration. Think about Inhale as if it were a map: we can help you discover which are the must-see events all over the world, what is happening now in the artistic and cultural world as well as guide you through the latest designers’ products. Inhale interconnects domains that you are interested in, so that you will know all the events, places, galleries, studios that are a must-see. We have a 360 degree overview on art and culture and a passion to share.
When waking up one morning, Niege Borges, a Brasilian graphic designer, had a very good idea: to create a series of illustrations that would show the famous dance-scenes in pop culture.
Dancing Plague of 1518 is the name of this series which provokes good memories in your brain. We feel like re-entering genius films like Pulp Fiction , but also in Napoleon Dynamite (“VOTE FOR PEDRO !”), Little Miss Sunshine, as well as Seinfeld.
The name of the project comes from a strange historical event that took place in France in 1518. This year a woman named Frau Toffea danced in the streets of Strasbourg for several days and rapidly other people joined her.

After days and days of dancing a large number of persons taking part in this flash mob medieval died of heart. This phenomenon would be named “maniacal dancing”.
