As we walk through the city streets, a diversity of images and writings capture our hurried gaze. Tile panels that have withstood the test of time, hand-drawn signs advertising popular commerce—each visual expression has much to say about the values, affections, and aspirations of its authors, who, even anonymously, enrich the urban landscape with their works.
To reflect on the cultural value of these manifestations, the Ipiranga Museum is holding the second edition of the meeting. Messages from the present time: writings and images as cultural heritage., A full day of special and free activities, dedicated to the exchange of knowledge and the appreciation of visual stories that document the present.
Check out the full schedule:
10am to 12pm – Chat with Filipe Grimaldi and Douglas Nascimento
Douglas Nascimento, a communicator, researcher, and activist focused on culture and historical heritage, will discuss the illustrated tile panels that adorn residences and buildings in São Paulo, analyzing their authorship, themes, and the challenges in identifying remaining examples. Following him, Filipe Grimaldi, a lettering artist from São Paulo, will address the different calligraphic styles used in commercial posters across Brazil, created by professional and amateur letterers, the so-called "letter openers.".
2 PM to 3 PM – Guided tour “Tile panels in the Ipiranga neighborhood”
