Tarsila do Amaral
On 13th January 2025
18:30 - 20:30
Presented by Oswaldo Carvalho, journalist and professor of communications at the Institute of Intercultural Management and Communication (ISIT)
This lecture will show you how, in the 1920s and 1930s, Tarsila do Amaral and other modernist artists played a leading role in the political project to make samba - a music once discriminated against and even repressed by the police - a major symbol of Brazilian culture, in a country searching for its identity a century after independence.
This conference will be held in the Salle Médicis, Palais du Luxembourg, entrance via 15 ter rue de Vaugirard
Free admission upon reservation - Booking required
