Workshop: 26.08 - 31.08.2013 // Museum of Modern Art (MAM), Salvador
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.
The third workshop was held in Salvador, where Ícaro Vilaça engaged neighbourhood associations and local planners in an activist’s approach towards tackling the issue of the ‘right to the city’ by examining the neighbourhoods of Dois de Julho and Alagados.
