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.

Sons dos subúrbios

The power of suburban sonority is unquestionable. Manifestations such as Jongo, Choro, and Samba are important examples that help to tell and sing a significant part of our History. It is well known that many musical genres were born or developed in the subúrbios of Rio and remain interconnected with the territory through ancestral heritages and bonds of sociability.
