Rio Suburbano

CURADORIA

Rafael Mattoso

Speaking of the suburbs presupposes addressing the entire complexity of the knowledge, flavors, and experiences of its residents. The Rio Suburbano gallery is an invitation to understand the history of the areas that emerged from the construction of factories and the railway line, their own forms of spatial, cultural, and mobility organization. Their renewed knowledge and traditions, their identities and ways of being and being in this urban and affective cartography. It is a celebration of the specific practices of its inhabitants. Memories that account for the minutiae of suburban life, such as running after and delighting in sweets from Cosme and Damião, flying kites in the streets and on rooftops, appropriating the sidewalk or public roads to lay a stroke of concrete or to celebrate some important date.

Ver os subúrbios

The words “enxergar” and “ver” are frequently used as synonyms to express what we perceive through the sense of sight. However, there are many things beyond what our retinas capture. Suburban imagery is multiple, colorful, rich in meanings, colors, and forms. There is, therefore, a need to see, understand, and signify the mosaic that composes the complex atmosphere of the suburbs. There is also the subjective way of identifying and being identified by that which is expressed visually. Suburban identity and imaginary are fields in dispute between the people who live, those who only see — and those who don't even do that, but still possess an image of the suburb in the field in their heads.
