The third Feira do Livro da Unesp is happening online until April 11, 2021, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, with discounts of at least 50% on books. This online setup aims to make the event more accessible to everyone. The publication arte!brasileiros reached out to Autêntica, Cobogó, and Ubu for their top book picks in areas like art and philosophy. Some standout recommendations include Autêntica’s biography of modernist painter Alberto da Veiga Guignard and André Bazin’s 'O realismo impossível'. Ubu suggests Frantz Fanon's 'Pele Negra, Máscaras Brancas' and Roy Wagner’s 'A invenção da cultura', while Cobogó presents 'Espaços de trabalho de artistas latino-americano'.
