Vol.10 João and Adriana: We All Need Some Brazilian Spirit

In this episode, we talked to a lovely couple from Brazil João and Adriana. João is artist, Adriana is art strategist. None of us are native English speakers, but this is the language we rely on to communicate with each other. In international settings like this, we often find ourselves defaulting to English. At one point, we started talking about cultural stereotypes through a simple example. In any field, being articulate is powerful. But there’s also something important in being patient with those who are less confident in a shared language. That patience opens up space for unexpected understanding, and for different ways of thinking to emerge. Talking with João made me realize that in the end, it’s the person speaking that matters most, not how fluent they are in a particular language.　(Cai Xun)BGM by Sotaro————————————「乗客」アーティスト｜ジョアォン・アンジェリーニキュレーター｜テレーザ・デ・アフーダ日程｜4月11日（土）〜5月6日（水・祝）時間｜13:30〜19:00　※休場日：4月13日、20日、27日場所｜高架下スタジオSite-Aギャラリー　入場料｜無料主催｜特定非営利活動法人黄金町エリアマネジメントセンター協賛｜駐日ブラジル大使館、ギマランイス・ホーザ文化院●会期中イベントオープニングレセプション｜4月11日（土）17:00〜パフォーマンス｜4月11日（土）18:00〜トークイベント｜4月25日(土) 15:00〜　 ゲスト｜ペドロ・エルベル場所｜高架下スタジオSite-Aギャラリー※参加無料passageiroArtist: João AngeliniCurator: Tereza de ArrudaDates: April 11 (Sat) – May 6 (Wed)*Closed on: April 13, 20, 27Hours: 13:30 – 19:00Venue: Site-A Gallery Beneath the RailwaysOrganized by: Koganecho Area Management CenterSupported by: Brazil Embassy in Tokyo, Instituto Guimarães Rosa●Events During the ExhibitionOpening Vernissage: April 11 (Sat), 17:00〜Performance XetruaKyaku: April 11 (Sat), 17:00〜Talk Event: April 25 (Sat), 15:00~Guest: Pedro ErberVenue: Site-A Gallery Beneath the Railways*Admission Free
