0:29

Brazil Cultural Association the I start

0:34

working with the Brazilian 2000 and in

0:38

the projects that i coordinate we have a

0:41

database from the geopolitical south

0:46

with videos that participate in our

0:49

festival since the beginning we also

0:55

have a magazine that we called carnival

1:01

Brazil we launched this year the the

1:04

false title of this magazine the idea of

1:07

this magazine it’s reflect about

1:10

contemporary art we also produce a

1:14

series of documentaries about our

1:18

artists their practice and also the work

1:23

they do we travel to their places and we

1:30

are launching next year we fix the fifth

1:33

sixth title of this project about the

1:38

the Brazilian group shopify with the

1:42

direction of carla’s nada brazilian

1:46

artists well we also have a database in

1:51

the internet and to research the works

1:55

we have and the artists and decorators

1:58

we have catalogue since the beginning of

2:02

defensible and we have a video tag in in

2:06

cesky

2:08

Prince the public space in San Paolo now

2:10

we have four hundred titles and this

2:15

data being in this video Tech but more

2:19

and I think it’s dead and also we have

2:23

every month a meeting with artists and

2:27

also and now is focus on the southern

2:31

secret and well the first we start as a

2:37

national festival and in 92 it becames

2:41

international and the ideal on focusing

2:45

in the southern secret

2:49

about it’s a curatorial point of view

2:52

and also and we with without and it was

2:57

important to have a line to have a issue

3:03

and the idea of focus on that its first

3:07

because we had thought that was

3:10

important to to have an archive and put

3:16

together all this material and to create

3:19

network between they are artists from

3:22

the south and this was the idea

3:27

well now I think we are in a moment of

3:35

changing in video Brazil and also in

3:38

Brazil and Brazil is really well known

3:42

out of Brazil and I think our job now

3:47

it’s to enlarge our or our work inside

3:53

of Brazil and so we’re starting projects

3:57

of touring program and inside of Brazil

4:00

and I think this is really important and

4:03

now that the video is a mainstream and

4:10

everybody’s calling us and asking us to

4:15

do to crew torial programs and do

4:19

workshops about video and coming to

4:24

research an hour Kyle’s so I think this

4:27

is really interesting moment

4:31

well in brazil i think there’s we are in

4:36

a special moment with lula and schubert

4:40

of you and I think and the minister of

4:43

culture in Brazil and the last six years

4:46

started a project of distributing the we

4:54

don’t have lots of money in culture but

4:56

all the money was focus only and one

5:00

field of culture and now the work is to

5:04

have this money distribute in all areas

5:08

and in all parts of the country not only

5:12

in some pollen video not only in cinema

5:15

and this is changing and I think this is

5:18

really a really important moment and

5:23

there’s a lot to do

5:27

I was hearing about a research that was

5:32

the minister of culture did in Brazil

5:34

now and only eight percent of the

5:39

population and have been to a museum or

5:45

to a cinema and this is amazing so we

5:51

need to change this and I think this

5:54

this political moment it focus on that

5:59

and they think this is important ah well

6:04

I think this is

6:08

unsure

6:11

we are thinking about this this magazine

6:14

we produced académica de brazil and

6:17

always well we would like to reflect on

6:21

that and we like to invite creators and

6:24

critics to think about this not only the

6:29

globalization but how the diasporas walk

6:34

with this idea and I think this was this

6:43

is the the importance of festival put

6:48

people together and creating network and

6:51

I think this is really important we we

6:56

we don’t I think in Latin America we

6:58

don’t have a good contact with

7:03

canada North America and it’s it’s

7:10

really

7:12

important that we have disconnect way

7:15

fallacy me and Allison insalata festival

7:20

in Canada and

7:23

is in Canada and indeed i think we are

7:27

you are can enhance him well you live

7:31

here and and this is I think we have

7:36

this to a relation so can help you to

7:41

research and Brazil and find work there

7:44

and you can wrap help us here so this is

7:49

important in festival to create this

7:52

network and put people together thinking

7:55

about

7:57

about Brazil I think art

8:03

plays an important role and the

8:07

qualities and and the projects of

8:13

artists that are doing public

8:16

intervention on Brazil in a week subvert

8:19

in

8:21

the relation with the city the space an

8:26

art I think the idea of taking the art

8:32

out of the museum out of the galleries

8:35

and going to the street this is aaron

8:40

really important now and

8:43

this is what comes to my mind is a

8:46

subversion really their relation between

8:50

the new version love

9:01

you
