Rio Desaparecido
CURADORIA
Antonio Edmilson Rodrigues Martins
The speed of the changes that happen in the city of Rio is impressive: monuments, buildings, and squares are erected and destroyed in the blink of an eye. Professions, shops, and habits go away often without records. Many of these narratives were recovered in this gallery, as well as the history of people who had their lives subtracted in an unexpected way.

À flor da terra
How is a modern city built? There are several possible ways, but the Rio de Janeiro of the late 19th and early 20th centuries made one choice: to bury everything that did not "serve" the civilizing purpose intended for the capital in the immediate post-abolition. The more than 350 years of slavery and all the horrors that derived from that institution were buried, as if they could be forgotten. The city looks toward the future, but the recent past, buried in a shallow grave - "on the surface of the earth" - does not fade easily.

Image description: This is a painting depicting an outdoor market or fair scene. The image is divided into two main parts: left and right. On the left side, we see a figure in profile, wearing a yellow cloak with golden patterns, holding a blue container. Beside them, there is a white tray with red flowers. In the background, a figure stands wearing a green dress and holding a straw hat. In the distance, we see a metal structure, possibly a ship.
On the right side, several figures are gathered around large red pots containing food. The people are wearing colorful clothing, including blue, yellow, and red fabrics. One figure holds a pink parasol. There is also a standing figure wearing a light blue cloak, with their head covered by a white headscarf. The lighting suggests the scene takes place during the day, with the sun shining over the participants.

In the center, a large building with domes and ornamental relief details. In front of the main building, there is a staircase with arches and a large central entrance. In the background, we see a circular structure with domes, possibly part of a theater or palace. In front of the building, there are trees and a sidewalk.
