Coronavida: pandemia, cidade e cultura urbana, the new book by artist and professor Giselle Beiguelman, addresses the impacts of the coronavirus on culture and daily life in cities. The suppression of public space, new forms of activism, the pandemic of images (from livestreams to memes), the molecular surveillance of the "new normal," the precariousness of social relations, and remote work are among the topics explored.
Aiming to continue the discussion and uncover opportunities for adaptation and resilience, this AOA session proposes an optimistic approach to the challenges facing the city and its inhabitants within both local and global contexts. It highlights existing opportunities for positive change following a crisis, thereby promoting more resilient cities in both the short and long term.
From August 27 to October 8, every Thursday at 7:00 PM, the "Women and Modern Architecture Series" will take place. This series aims to serve as a meeting space to examine the contributions of women to architecture, not only within the discipline itself but also through design, photography, and historiography.
