LIVES MESA is a new initiative designed both to publicize MESA projects and to continue the debates of the issues of the institute’s bilingual online journal Revista MESA. Beginning in July 2021 the program takes place on the last Saturday of each month and will continue through November this year. Lives address questions and themes of the 6th issue of Revista MESA “Hidden Lives” published in March 2021. In addition the program also features two special live events: revisiting the impact and legacy of the 8th Mercosul Biennial of contemporary art “Geopoetic Essays”, ten years later and a celebratory live honoring the 50th anniversary of Domingos da Criação, participatory events organized by critic Frederico Morais at MAM Rio in 1971, and the recently created collective study and translation group with Latin American researchers “Grupo de los domingos.”
