The Open Day, hosted annually by the Istituto Europeo di Design (IED), invites eyewear retail giant Luxottica to this year's edition to teach the public how to prototype eyewear models as if they were for a new brand within the group. The experience will take place this Saturday, May 4, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM at the IED-SP campus, located at 617 Maranhão Street. The event is free and open to everyone upon registration on the website: https://ied.edu.br/eventos/open-day-o-futuro-pelas-lentes-do-design.

The 10th Docomomo North and Northeast Seminar, to be held from October 3 to 5, 2024, in Campina Grande, Paraíba, aims to reflect on and discuss the urgent need to shift toward a preservation policy more focused on the conservation of modern heritage. Specifically, the event directs the discussion toward concepts of modernity, tectonics, and the pathologies of modern buildings, while also addressing the paths to be taken for documentary safeguarding, which serves as the foundation for heritage preservation work.

A recurring theme in the work of artist Lígia Teixeira, the female universe and its social questions and representations are currently on display in Rio de Janeiro in the exhibition “Confinadas” (Confined), curated by Osvaldo Carvalho. This body of work was one of three selected from 300 entries in the 6th Piccola Galleria Selection Program, which she presented at the Casa Fiat de Cultura in Belo Horizonte last year. For the exhibition at the Centro Cultural Correios, several new series were developed addressing ageism, as well as issues of race and gender—illustrated by Black and trans brides, among other works—totaling approximately 50 small-format paintings and one large-format canvas. There is also a series titled “Caladas” (Silenced), in which masked women allude to the persistent difficulty regarding the female voice in society.
