An exhibition that traces the history of Brasilia, the national capital of Brazil, will be presented by Bihar Museum in association with Embassy of Brazil, New Delhi, from June 22 to July 21. Tiled “Brasilia 60+ and the Construction of Modern Brazil”, pays tribute to the notable achievements of the city and celebrates 200 years of independence of Brazil.
Through the lens of photographer Leonardo Finotti, the exhibition showcases the artistic documentation of Brasilia, capturing its unique character, essence, and architectural intricacies. The exhibition features a collection of photographs that depict symbolic palaces such as the Parliament, the President’s residence, the President’s office, ministries, and a significant number of apartment buildings. These architectural marvels paved the way for the capital’s transfer from Rio de Janeiro to Brasilia in 1960, forever shaping the urban landscape of Brazil.
The exhibition is a curtain raiser for the inauguration of the second edition of Bihar Museum Biennale, which will be held on August 7, 2023. The Museum Biennale aims to sensitize the public to the importance and significance of a museum culture in India and facilitate an understanding of culture, building a strong sense of identity, nationhood and the self. Alka Pande, art historian and curator, served as the Project Lead of the first edition of Bihar Museum Biennale and will also be acting as the chief curator for the second edition.
