The Festival reflects what the country is thinking and talking about today. A range of debates, talks, performances, exhibitions and installations by artists and leading cultural and political figures gives a sense of a nation that has moved from despair to hope in 20 years.
Creative thinkers from Brazil and the UK also offer perspectives on Brazil’s global role in the 21st century and the way that culture can help shape civic society. The summer at Southbank Centre conjures up the joyful outdoor life that Brazilians revel in, as aspects of the site are transformed into places for performance and celebration. The Brazilian community in London have been crucial to the planning of the Festival and we’d like to thank them. Finally, can we say how pleased we are to have HSBC as a partner for this ambitious endeavour. We hope you enjoy it.
