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.

O Rio que se move

The conditions for the development of urban mobility in the city of Rio de Janeiro had as obstacles, especially, its topography. In an attempt to manage the improvement of circulation, numerous attempts were made with the construction of tunnels and avenues and new forms of transport. Many of these attempts were down the drain. On one hand, because reformers aiming at the modernization of the city saw that certain means of circulation hindered progress and hampered mobility - as in the case of the trams. Or, even, because public transport became a gold mine for the entrepreneurs of collective transport, such as the buses.
