The city we find here?though certainly not a modernist utopia?is, like the book itself, anything but unsurprising?a reminder that in the history of urban planning, the unintended happens often. Impressively-researched, fresh, and captivating, this book is a brilliant achievement and will appeal to experts and first-time travelers alike.? --Bruno Carvalho, Professor of Romance Languages and Literatures, Harvard University ?This book is an exemplary piece of research, and singular in that Brasília?s cultural production has not previously been systematically examined. Beal?s study is notable for paying close attention to the importance of popular culture in providing trenchant sociocultural assessments. Her secure grasp of the scope of her material and the quality of her analyses confirm her emerging stature as a major voice in contemporary Brazilian cultural studies.? --David William Foster, Regents? Professor of Portuguese and Spanish, Arizona State University People from outside of Brasília often dismiss Brazil?s capital as a cultural wasteland. However, as The Art of Brasília argues, that reputation is outdated. Brasília?s contemporary artists are transforming how people think about the city and how they use its public spaces. These twenty-first-century artists are recasting Brasília as a vibrant city of the arts in which cultural production affirms the creative right to the city of marginalized populations. Brasília?s initial 1960s art was state-sanctioned, carried out mainly by privileged, white men. In contrast, the capital?s contemporary art is marked by its diversity, challenging norms about the types of art that can symbolize the city. This book analyzes prose, poetry, film, cultural journalism, music, photography, graffiti, street theater, and street dance that demystify the capital?s inequities and imagine alternative ways of inhabiting the city.
