The centenary of the anthropologist, ethnologist, educator, writer and politician Darcy Ribeiro is the subject of the exhibition "Utopia brasileira - Darcy Ribeiro 100 anos", on view at Sesc 24 de Maio, in São Paulo, until 25 June. Curator Isa Grinspum Ferraz has designed an exhibition itinerary that engages with the many facets of one of the foremost Brazilian intellectuals of all time, of international renown. Visitors have access to objects, books and documents from his personal archive, as well as works of contemporary art that connect with his trajectory, addressing the many sides of Darcy Ribeiro's work.
A structure designed in 360° is interwoven with multimedia devices, photos, videos and a large audiovisual installation. Along the timeline of Darcy Ribeiro's life, devoted to themes linked to the idea of development and social justice, along with the great importance he gave to Brazil's indigenous populations, the exhibition presents a set of original letters never before shown to the public.
The installation of "Utopia brasileira - Darcy Ribeiro 100 anos" relied on logistics by Clé Chenue do Brasil.
The exhibition is free, open Tuesday to Saturday from 9:00 to 21:00 and on Sundays and public holidays from 9:00 to 18:00. Sesc 24 de Maio is located at rua 24 de Maio, 109, in central São Paulo, with access via the República station on the Red and Yellow lines of the Metro.
