Press release

Brazil is not just a physical place, but also a cultural space on which many different theories and possibilities thrive. It is both the “yes” and the “no”.
Brazil has always been a country with one of the most complex cultural environments, due to the three races that live here and the vast number of immigrants from other nations that continuously flow into it, thus fueling its tendency towards plurality.
One of the complex problems - in terms of art and literature - generated by the peculiarities of this country is, in fact, the mix of local elements with universal elements: where does “local” end and where does “universal” begin?

The Parisi Valle Museum in Maccagno had never opened its doors to photographs before, but now it finally displays 50 shots from high-level authors. These photos can capture the observers, taking them to the innermost corners of one of the most beautiful and controversial lands in the world: Brazil.
