Free classes on exhibition architecture at the CCVM

From March 21st to 24th (Tuesday to Friday), from 14:00 to 18:00, the Vale Maranhão Cultural Center will offer the Expography workshop with architect Claudia Afonso, with the objective of providing students with subsidies to understand the processes involving the design and assembly of exhibitions.

During the classes, international and national examples will be analyzed – focusing on the CCVM exhibitions -, which will serve as a basis and reference for a project proposal to be developed during the course. Understanding the exhibition as a multidisciplinary process, exhibition spaces, itineraries, supports, solutions, and construction techniques are among the subjects that will be taught in the classroom.

Claudia Afonso graduated from FAU-USP and TU-Berlin, Claudia Afonso has been working with exhibition architecture since 2007 and has conceived, both as an author and in collaboration, more than 100 ephemeral spaces. He specializes in Curatorial Practices and Cultural Management from Faculdade Santa Marcelina and has a master’s degree in Museology and Museography from the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon. Today he collaborates with different cultural institutions and architectural firms in Brazil and Germany, where he lives. At the CCVM, he signed the expography of “Africana: the dialogue of forms”, “Ancer”, “Affects”, “The Brazil that deserves Brazil”, among others.

Registrations can be made free of charge and in person, on the first day of class, at the CCVM, on a first-come, first-served basis. There are 15 places available. Vale Maranhão Cultural Center is located on Rua Direita, 149, Historic Center of São Luís.
