Travessias – Arte Contemporânea na Maré
11/26/2011 — 12/18/2011
Galpão Bela Maré, Rio de Janeiro, RJ
The project proposes the incorporation of the Maré slum and its inhabitants on the map of the visual arts and the map of our cultural practices as active creators and questioning agents of the same principles and ideas that circulate in other areas. In the four weekends that happened the event, there were exhibitions of works, performances and workshops.
The role of visual artist and of contemporary Brazilian art is fundamental to this process of urbanand and aesthetics integration we need to build. The relation of the favela with the other inhabitants of the cities is directly by a mutual lack of looking. Enter your art in the everyday life of slums is much more than expose works in unpublished spaces for new audiences. The art in this universe, becomes a powerful bridge between parties, which expands possibilities, stimulating conversations, and meetings between people, critics, curators, gallery owners, artists, students and other interested participants.
