To mark the 20th anniversary of the Carlos Scliar House Museum, the exhibition "The Artivists: Carlos Scliar and Cildo Meireles" will open on June 29, 2024, at 6:00 PM, bringing together the work of these two important artists for the first time. "Scliar was fundamental in my life," says Cildo Meireles about his friend, who passed away in 2001. Curated by Cristina Ventura, the museum's coordinator, the exhibition presents around thirty works—some never before seen—spanning from the 1940s to 2021. The show is complemented by participatory works inspired by the two artists. The exhibition, which will be free to the public until the end of August, is presented by the Federal Government, the Ministry of Culture, the Government of the State of Rio de Janeiro, and the Rio de Janeiro State Secretariat of Culture and Creative Economy through the Paulo Gustavo Law.

Poster for the 3rd Seminar on Experimental Construction Sites in Architecture and Urbanism and the 1st National Meeting of Experimental Construction Sites - @renace2024
The "3rd Seminar and 1st National Meeting of Experimental Construction Sites," to be held in São Paulo, Brazil, from May 27 to 30, 2024, aims to bring together professors, researchers, technicians, students, and communities involved in architectural production within Experimental Construction Sites at Schools of Architecture and Urbanism, as well as independent territories across Brazil and the world, to exchange experiences in teaching, research, and university outreach. With this in mind, the event seeks to create spaces for the exchange of ideas and debates regarding different pedagogical methods, objectives, and technologies, as well as procedures and action strategies for operating both within formal academic spaces and externally, through practical formative actions addressing the country's social needs in rural and urban housing, and the various public buildings still lacking in Brazilian society. OBJECTIVES: 3rd Seminar • Recover the history and origins of experimental architectural construction sites. • Debate principles and issues relevant to experimental construction sites, including the current global socio-environmental crisis, with guests from civil society and professors from Brazilian and international architecture schools. • Commemorate and reflect on the 25th anniversary of the FAU USP experimental construction site with the launch of a photographic exhibition. 1st RENACE Meeting • Establish a national network by identifying existing construction sites in Brazil through presentation circles and exhibitions of teaching, research, and outreach work. • Collaborate on the practical realization of independent architecture through collective construction workshops. • Disseminate the dialogical pedagogical method to those interested in creating new experimental construction sites. • Explore experiences through visits to nearby experimental construction sites.

Migration has been a constant phenomenon throughout human history and has played a fundamental role in the formation and development of cities. While it may not appear to be a particularly novel approach at first glance, there are few topics more relevant today than migration, which is intersected by political, geostrategic, economic, environmental, and urban issues. Today, new structural factors are driving it with greater force than ever before. Instability in the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, the war in Ukraine, climate change, poverty, and population growth only serve to increase the flow of people seeking a better place in the world.
