Colloquium

Aware of the inestimable value and influence of Brazilian culture on the continent and taking advantage of its large catalog, the Fondo de Cultura Económica, together with the coordination of Rafael Toriz, organized the Brazil from the Fondo colloquium. It took place over two days and in four panels in which some of the main specialists in narrative, plastic arts, cinema and Brazilian poetry from Argentina participated.
On Wednesday August 26, Alicia Candiani, director of ´ace Project, was invited to the closing panel of the colloquium on Visual arts together with Bárbara Belloc. Candiani’s participation focused on Brazilian contemporary art and more specifically the artists from Brazil who participated in our International Program of Artistic Residencies: Amanda Coimbra, Cecilia Stelini, Marcia de Moraes, Eduardo Eloy, Patricia Francisco, Waléria Américo, Maíra Dietrich, Wesler Machado ALMA and Cristiano Sant´Anna, with the latter we developed a project in 2016.
The colloquium developed essential topics for the understanding of Brazilian culture, discussing poetry, narrative and Brazilian cinema, translation issues, the intersections and relationships between Brazilian and Argentine production.
