Understanding the ways of life in the Brazilian countryside allows us to comprehend how knowledge, practices, and memories have been preserved and can be given new meaning in the present.<\/p>\n
On May 30th, the Ipiranga Museum will host an event dedicated to the Sertaneja Collection, a collection of approximately 600 cultural artifacts gathered between the 1920s and 1950s, documenting the practices, objects, and ways of life of rural communities, primarily in the state of S\u00e3o Paulo.<\/p>\n
The proposal invites the public to participate in a collective process of listening to, recognizing, and reinterpreting these artifacts, bringing together researchers, folklorists, artisans, artists, and cultural agents to identify, requalify, and assign new meanings to the collection, especially to those pieces originating from the Para\u00edba Valley, which are still poorly documented.
