Made possible by the Armando Garza-Sada Sr. Endowment for the Arts
Explore the vibrant and multi-faceted aspects of Brazilian Modernisms in this one-day symposium.
Delving into Brazil’s vast artistic and cultural modernist output, this symposium is conceived to complement our exhibition Brasil! Brasil! The Birth of Modernism. It will bring together international artists, scholars and academics to illuminate the rich Brazilian cultural tapestry of the twentieth century, including how this vibrant period of cultural production is responded to today.
From the visual arts, to architecture and urban planning, new research will analyse complex interactions between Western, Afro-Brazilian and Indigenous cultural models, as well as the development of Brazilian artistic and cultural expressions. The conversation will aim to capture the bold and contrasting cultures which still shape today’s country.
