Macunaíma é Duwid

You might appreciate how the exhibition highlights indigenous voices alongside modernist influences, creating a dialogue across time. Whether you’re interested in art, history, or cultural conversations, this collection offers a rich experience. It’s a space where you can reflect on identity and storytelling in Brazil’s diverse cultural landscape.
