TERRA EM TEMPOS: BRAZIL AND ITS HISTORY THROUGHOUT PHOTOGRAPHY
In this exhibition, photographs from Brazil turn to the constructions of national identity and culture based on the photographic collection of the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro. The exhibition presents around 270 works by 120 artists, produced from 1860 to the present. It also includes a commissioned work by Rio de Janeiro-based visual artist Aline Motta, and a revival of her installation Filha natural.

The curatorship of Beatriz Lemos establishes seven thematic axes that go through different periods to think about the relationship between the history of Brazil and the photographic image. Without following a linear chronology, the photographic sets are divided into conceptual nuclei: structure, power and nature; body and subject; family, affection and housing; work and production; technology, photography and access; uses of public space and festivities; spirituality and mystery. In layers of superimposed interpretation, Terra em Tempos is dedicated to critically thinking about the idea of nation from the cut of the MAM Rio collections.
Some of the works are accompanied by audio description for blind and visually impaired people, or those who wish to deepen their experiences with the MAM Rio collection. All the texts of the exhibition are available in a digital version, for access through cell phones and screen readers.
