Workshop: 19.08 - 23.08.2013 // Community Center, Bairro Farrapos
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 Porto Alegre, Márcio Rosa D'Avila launched the workshop series with a debate about the history of "orçamento participativo", which seems to be conflicting with current efforts towards economic growth. In order to exemplify the issue, he focused on Vila Liberdade, a community in Porto Alegre’s northern fringe, and Vila Planetário found in the city core.
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.
