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.

No escurinho do cinema
Inside or outside the screens, Rio has a vocation for cinema. A common setting for films — and even the protagonist of some — the city guards the traces left by the seventh art. The frenzy of the écran, the mystery of cinemascope, the novelty of sound, the culture reproduced on screens. Pioneer studios, street cinemas, blocks devoted to the pleasure of the films, audiences in uproar. Part of this history turned to ruin; but another part supports the inventiveness that still pulses in Brazilian cinema today.

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.

Image description: This is a historic photograph of a grand building, probably from the early twentieth century. On the left, we see a series of columns and arches forming the ground floor of the main building. On the right, there is a lower structure with rectangular windows. 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.
