EXHIBITIONS
- Topografias Imaginadas (Imagined Topographies) / photography
The exhibition combining Edu Monteiro, Jaques Faing, José Diniz, Luiz Alberto Guimarães, and Luiz Baltar shows expressive articulations of cartography unbounded by maps. The invited artists start from reality to build other spaces, which are the expression of both the soul of things and the porosity of life.
Curatorship: Angela Pelegrino and Nadja Magalhães
Tuesday to Sunday, until November 24th – 12 noon to 7 PM
In the galleries on the first floor
- Rio Branco, 241 – Justiça e Cultura (Justice and Culture) / History
The bilingual exhibition shows a retrospective of the occupation of the Federal Supreme Court’s original building, focusing on the trajectory to becoming the Federal District Court in Rio de Janeiro. Its panels tell the story, from the creation of the Federal Courts of First and Second Instance to the restoration works and establishment of the Federal Courthouse Cultural Center, including remarkable facts about the history of Federal Courts in this building.
Tuesday to Sunday – 12 noon to 7 PM
In the galleries on the first floor
- Vozes (“Voices”) / sound installation
Visitors are invited to sit down and listen to stories that shape a network of voices built from three questions: What is a sexist society? How does machismo affect one’s individuality? What is it like to be listened to? The testimonials present different viewpoints on gender inequality, which complement each other and echo feminist agendas.
From October 3rd to November 24th
Tuesday to Sunday, 12 noon to 7 PM
In the galleries on the first floor
MUSIC

THEATER
- Olho por olho (“Eye for an eye”) / play
The show is a dystopia that unveils evil as culture, to understand the vision of justice. In the story, after the death of his son, a father is astonished to discover who was the child’s murderer. A dialogue is then created in which the hunger for justice begins to give way to the recognition of a cruel reality.
