Various cultural initiatives in Brazil are marking significant milestones through seminars and discussions. In Ceará, Vila das Artes is hosting the “Sonhar para Criar Outros Mundos” seminar on October 21 and 28 to celebrate its 20th anniversary. Managed by Secultfor in partnership with the Instituto Cultural Iracema, the event features free activities including discussions on art accessibility, street art, and the relationship between culture, territory, and citizenship.

In Rio de Janeiro, the “Desenrolando a Serpentina” event held at the Museu de Arte Moderna (MAM Rio) marked its own 20-year history. The program focused on the ethics and memory of carnival photography, bringing together professionals to discuss the challenges of documenting Brazil’s major cultural celebrations. Topics included technological transformations, the importance of preserving carnival memory, and the necessity for photographers to move beyond predetermined assignments to capture the unpredictable nature of the festivities.
