Roundtable – Mawali–Taqsim: Improvisation as a Space and Technology of Humanity with Allan da Rosa

On November 8, a roundtable discussion will take place with the Bienal team and Allan da Rosa. The discussion will focus on the third volume of the educational publication and the third Invocation in Zanzibar, Mawali–Taqsim: Improvisation as Space and Technology of Humanity. The event will be held from 10 am to 12 pm in the auditorium, located on the third floor, and is part of Conjugations – Education, within the public program of the 36th Bienal de São Paulo.

Conjugations – Education offers activities that, inspired by playing, dancing, singing, gaming, and storytelling, invite the public to an active and playful immersion in the exhibition — deepening practices of humanity and valuing diverse ways of being and living together. During the activity, the third volume of the educational publication will be distributed.

The activity will include Brazilian Sign Language interpretation.
