Rio Operário
CURADORIA
Antonio Edmilson Rodrigues Martins
The Rio Operário Gallery presents a panorama of the life, work, and struggles of workers in the city of Rio de Janeiro, mainly those from the textile factories that, from the late 19th century until the 1930s, occupied the city's landscape, forming neighborhoods, influencing ways of life, adding music and poetry to the city, and marking out urban spaces that gained the status of places of memory.

Viver operário
The lives of the workers beyond work. The bar conversations, domestic life, the relationships of affection. The room Viver operário deals, precisely, with the places and moments in which, as Sidney Chalhoub (2001) observed, the factory workers "drowned the sorrows of the struggle for life and numbed their aching bodies from the consecutive hours of daily labor."

Image description: The image is a black-and-white photograph of a large crowd gathered on an urban street. On the left side, there is a building with the name "Imperio Serrano" written in large letters on the facade. In front of this building, there is a sign with the number "007" and the text "Jorge Leite". The crowd occupies most of the image, filling the street and part of the adjacent ground. The people are standing, some of them appearing to be talking or watching something. In the background, other buildings and a hill are visible.

Image description: This is an old black-and-white photograph. On the left side, we see dense vegetation with trees and shrubs. In the center, there is a large industrial building with several lateral structures and towers. In front of it, there is a body of water, possibly a lake or river. In the background, we find mountains covered with vegetation. On the right, there is a large tree with thick foliage. In the foreground, we see a metal fence and a human figure with their back turned, looking at the industrial building.

Image description: This is an old photograph of a packed stadium during a soccer match. The image shows a crowd densely gathered in the stands, extending from left to right. The spectators are wearing dark clothing, possibly due to colder weather or to maintain a uniform appearance. Several tall palm trees can be seen in the background, adding a tropical atmosphere to the scene. In the foreground, part of the field is visible, covered in green grass. At the bottom of the photo, a line of text reads: "O estado do Stadium. Vencedor na certa Vasco 2 x 1."
