Brasil: Avenue of Possibilities
11/14/2023 — 03/02/2024
Galpão Bela Maré, Rio de Janeiro, RJ
Through a dynamic interplay of movement and continuity, the Brasil: Avenue of Possibilities festival explored the relationship between transit and permanence. Avenida Brasil was the first Federal Highway to be constructed and is still the largest expressway in Brazil. Woven into its history are the stories of countless individuals and social groups, who have collectively driven urban expansion, economic and industrial development, and, above all, the possibility of migration and connection between the main centers of the Rio metropolis, thereby shaping identities rooted in diversity and constant flux. Bringing together emerging and established artists, the festival featured an exhibition, art interventions on Avenida Brasil’s footbridges, performances, and roundtable discussions.
