20 Jun 2014 – 22 Jun 2014
Totem - Jardim da Fundação - Free Admission
At the Totem – a site of debate – during these three days will engage in a conversation about several questions around the idea of a Latin- American identity. Is there something that resembles this concept? Is it possible to name it in the globalization scenario? Is there an infinite variety of themes, political regimes, differentiated demographics, regional artistic prepositions… or are there just authors’ identities?
With some of the best specialists from Latin America or experts in this problem, we’ll discuss this and other themes.
