The Art of Brasilia by Sophia Beal
They are recasting Brasilia as a vibrant city of the arts in which cultural production affirms a creative right to the city. In contrast, the capitals contemporary art is marked by its diversity, challenging norms about who has a voice within the Brasilia art scene.“The Art of Brasília offers scholars and students in Brazilian Studies, Latin American Studies and Cultural Studies the dynamic scope of Sophia Beal’s cultural reach, made accessible here to an English-speaking audience… her study presents Brasília as a vibrant, living, arts city, worthy of recognition.” (Marguerite Itamar Harrison, Hispania, Vol. 103 (4), December, 2020)
