Rio de Janeiro

Urban Life through the Eyes of the City

By: Beatriz Jaguaribe

Through artistic imaginaries, media productions, social practices and spatial mappings, this book offers an insightful and original contribution to the understanding of Rio de Janeiro, one of the highly contested urban terrains in the world. Offering a rich diversity of examples extracted from lived experience, iconographic materials, and narratives, it provides innovative and compelling connections between theoretical questions and urban vignettes. Throughout the essays, the specificity of Rio de Janeiro is highlighted but framed in relation to theoretical questions that are relevant to major contemporary cities. The book underlines the dilemmas of a city that attempts to compete globally while confronting social inequality, violence, and novel forms of democratic agency. It retraces Rio de Janeiro’s modernist memories as the former political/cultural capital of Brazilian intelligentsia and national culture. It explores Rio as a city of popular culture, mestizo legacies, media productions, and cultural innovation.

The Dialectic Is in the Sea

The Black Radical Thought of Beatriz Nascimento

By: Beatriz Nascimento

Collected writings by one of the most influential Black Brazilian intellectuals of the twentieth century Beatriz Nascimento (1942–1995) was a poet, historian, artist, and political leader in Brazil’s Black movement, an innovative and creative thinker whose work offers a radical reimagining of gender, space, politics, and spirituality around the Atlantic and across the Black diaspora. Her powerful voice still resonates today, reflecting a deep commitment to political organizing, revisionist historiography, and the lived experience of Black women. The Dialectic Is in the Sea is the first English-language collection of writings by this vitally important figure in the global tradition of Black radical thought. The Dialectic Is in the Sea traces the development of Nascimento’s thought across the decades of her activism and writing, covering topics such as the Black woman, race and Brazilian society, Black freedom, and Black aesthetics and spirituality. Incisive introductory and analytical essays provide key insights into the political and historical context of Nascimento’s work. This engaging collection includes an essay by Bethânia Gomes, Nascimento’s only daughter, who shares illuminating and uniquely personal insights into her mother’s life and career.

Wonder Memories

By: Beatriz Albuquerque

Wonder Memories book was created by Beatriz Albuquerque and is part of a project that maps, documents and disseminates the memories of the Portuguese diaspora around the world. The project's intentions are to archive the present history of the communities and the place, the richness of experiences, the living heritage, durable materiality and immateriality, Portuguese traceability, with dialogues of opinions and synergetic exchanges between the artist and Portuguese emigrants from the host countries. It started in 2022 with Lille-Roubaix-Tourcoing, France, and in 2023 it was developed in New York and New Jersey, USA; in 2024 in Porto, Portugal where she invites Portuguese emigrants (current or former) who want to share their experience and add their testimony to the “Wonder Memories” project. This multidisciplinary project has taken various media forms, such as this book.
