Workshop: 12.08.2013 // Goethe Institut, Curitiba

Nós Brasil! We Brazil! documents three workshops in Curitiba, Porto Alegre and Salvador. In each city curator Matthias Böttger and artist/architect Luis Berríos-Negrón created a large Y-shaped table to discuss with local activists, artists, urban dwellers and architects: who creates the city? The visions and finding from the workshops were displayed at the biennale in Sao Paulo and discussed in a fourth workshop.

In Curitiba, Sergio Póvoa Pires sought to optimize the city’s renowned planning approach by including new thinkers and more diverse perspectives to consider the city’s outward growth that is bleeding into the surrounding municipalities.

Nós Brasil! We Brazil! is the German contribution to the 2013 International Architecture Biennial in São Paulo curated by raumtaktik. Nós Brazil! We Brazil! is a project by the Goethe-Institut on behalf of the German Federal Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban development. It is curated by Matthias Böttger and invited artist / architect Luis Berríos-Negrón. Jointly realized with the Goethe-Instituts in São Paulo, Curitiba, Porto Alegre and Salvador.
