The exhibition "Flags of Brazil – Bandeiras do Brasil" focuses upon the national flag as a national symbol.
Artists working at different moments in history present their personal interpretations of the flag, creating works in which we can identify aspirations, refutations, exaltations and demands from within the soul of the Brazilian people.
A selection of ten works – part of the first 2003 Bandeiras do Brasil exhibition at the Museum of Republic in Rio de Janeiro – have been selected for this exhibition at Gallery 32. They aim to inspire reflection on aspects of social, economic and cultural life in present-day Brazil, as well as on the country’s recent history.
