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.

Vidas silenciadas
The material that gives shape to Carioca history is also of blood and horror. The exuberant contours of this sunny resort, famous for the joy of its festivals, are settled upon a machinery of segregation and violence that does not stop making victims. Marielle Franco, councilwoman assassinated with six shots to the head; Rubens Paiva, tortured and executed by the Military Dictatorship; the boys of the Candelária, ambushed in the massacre of the dead of night. Lives stolen by authoritarianism, by racism, and by impunity.
