Brazil Contemporary celebrates the vibrancy of Brazilian culture through a diverse selection of art, architecture, pop culture and ephemera featuring the country's characteristic fusion of street aesthetics, high and low cultural references, political engagement and traditional craftsmanship. Brazil, one of the largest countries in the world, boasts an astonishingly heterogeneous population that has given rise to an eclectic national style. This well illustrated volume documents three months of Rotterdam-based exhibitions and events--organized jointly by the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, the Netherlands Architecture Institute and the Dutch Photo Museum--exploring the many facets of Brazil's creative output.
