At Sesc Consolação, "Países espelhados" examines cultural encounters between Brazil and African nations. Sesc Pompeia features two shows: "Irreparáveis Reparos – Kader Attia" and "FARSA. Língua, fratura, ficção: Brasil-Portugal," the latter exploring linguistic and fictional ties between Brazil and Portugal. Sesc Pinheiros presents "Transbordar: transgressões do bordado na arte," a video highlighting embroidery in art. Additionally, "Cartas ao mundo" by Bia Lessa rethinks global perspectives through Glauber, while Carmela Gross's work is discussed in relation to revolution and revolt.
