Mediation in Progress: Tiradentes em Cena Hosts Roundtable on Cultural Production
The historic town of Tiradentes, in the state of Minas Gerais, was the stage for an important discussion on cultural production and mediation on December 19, 2024. The roundtable titled “Mediation in Progress” was held at Instituto Rouanet and promoted by Tiradentes em Cena, one of the most significant performing arts festivals in the region.
Experts and Artists Gather at Instituto Rouanet
Under the artistic direction of Aline Garcia, Tiradentes em Cena has a longstanding tradition of showcasing major names in Brazilian theater, such as Bibi Ferreira, Paulo Betti, Inês Peixoto, Christiane Torloni, and Matheus Nachtergaele.
The roundtable was held at the charming venue located at Rua Direita, 248, in the heart of Tiradentes’ historic center. The event opened with remarks by festival director Aline Garcia, followed by Flávio Garcia da Rocha, cultural director of Instituto Rouanet. In his speech, Flávio honored the legacy of Sergio Paulo Rouanet (1934–2022), creator of Brazil’s Rouanet Law and founder of Instituto Rouanet. The event also welcomed honorary president Barbara Freitag Rouanet, executive director Adriana Rouanet, academic director Luiz Paulo Rouanet, and operations director Nancy Braga Rouanet, all co-founders of the institution.
Discussions on Cultural Networks and Inclusive Curatorship
The discussion featured a distinguished group of guests, including Professors Altemar Di Monteiro and Heloisa Marina (UFMG), Carolina Correa (international artist and curator of Tiradentes em Cena), Miguel Arcanjo Prado (journalist, critic, and curator), and Chico Brinati (Pro-Rector of Outreach and Culture at UFSJ and journalist).
In a spirit of knowledge sharing and exchange, the group explored topics such as:
- Formation of collaborative cultural networks;
- The relationship between artists and audiences through education;
- Connecting with local communities through art;
- Internationalization and cultural production mechanisms.
The participants emphasized the importance of diverse and inclusive curatorship, ensuring broader representation within the Brazilian cultural scene.
