The Latin American and Latino Art Forum at The David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies, Harvard University Invites you to its upcoming speaker series event ANA MARIA TAVARES Artist on their art November 20, 6pm: CGIS Building, 1730 Cambridge Street. Room: S-153 Renowned for her site-specific installations in which the blending of written word and architectural elements are used for the critical interrogation of public spaces, Ana Maria Tavares will discuss her latest projects with fellow Brazilian and DRCLAS Visiting Scholar Dr. Claudia Calirman. In collaboration with the MIT Office for the Arts Programmed by the Art Forum’s Curator and divided into two thematic sub-series, Art Lab and Artists on their Art, the talks last usually one and a half hours, are conducted in English (unless noticed otherwise) and follow the same format: an invited main speaker and a panel of commentators—usually composed by members of the Harvard or the Greater Boston community. Co-sponsored with the Cultural Agents Initiative, the Art Lab series are opportunities for artists and academics to gather and explore together the relevance of the slippery but productive relationship between arts and society which has shaped decisively, much of the artistic practice in Latin America since its formation. While our Artists on their Art series are opportunities for contemporary artists to present their work and engage in a critical analysis and discussion of its relevance in an academic forum. All talks are recorded and later available on our website as podcasts.

Brazil Film Series - Tonight

by Marcio Siwi

Brazil Film Series: Presented by The Brazil Studies Program at DRCLAS and The Harvard Brazilian Organization The Sound of Brazil: Brasileirinho Directed by Mika Kaurismäki, 2005 Mika Kaurismäki's toe-tapping, finger-snapping documentary reveals the vibrant sounds of Brazil's old-style Choro music, a blend of native Indian, European and African styles that forms the foundation of modern musical styles including Bossa Nova and Samba. This musical documentary shows the history and the vitality of Choro, one of the first genuinely Brazilian urban musical style. Choro was created around 1870 when new music groups in Rio de Janeiro started mixing European music with Afro-Brazilian rhythms and melancholic music of Brazilian Indians. After being overshadowed by the Samba in the 1920s and later by the Bossa Nova, Choro is now livelier than ever before in the bars and concert halls. Brasileirinho focuses on the musicians from "Trio Madeira Brasil".
