MAM São Paulo revisits Brazil's military dictatorship years with collection exhibition
The Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo is currently hosting an exhibition titled 'Os Anos em que Vivemos em Perigo.' This showcases around 50 artworks created between 1965 and 1970, a significant time right after Brazil's military coup in 1964. Curated by Marcos Moraes, the collection highlights pieces from artists like Antônio Henrique Amaral, Anna Maria Maiolino, and Cláudio Tozzi, covering styles from Pop to Surrealism. Moraes selected these works for their vibrant context and the artists' innovative views, tying them to key events like Nova Objetividade Brasileira and the 9ª Bienal de São Paulo. This exhibition runs from April 30 to July 28, with tickets costing R$ 7, and it's free on Saturdays.
