Descripción de la Exposición

This Friday, August 13, the show Pierre Verger: Journeys and Memories opens to the public at Instituto Tomie Ohtake. This exhibition is co-realized by Instituto Tomie Ohtake, the Fundação Pierre Verger and Fundação Bienal de São Paulo, integrating the network of the 34th Bienal de São Paulo partner exhibitions. Based on an immersion in his archives, notes, records and writings, the show is the first to present Pierre Verger as a photographer, researcher, ethnographer and also a religious leader. Curated by Priscyla Gomes, from the Instituto Tomie Ohtake, and Alex Baradel, from the Fundação Pierre Verger, the show is dedicated to exhibiting varied documentation of Verger’s travels, using these journeys to narrate the pioneering spirit present in many of his approaches while photographing, recording and investigating the places he visited, also showing his way of establishing dialogues with distinct populations. Know more about the exhibition here. The 34th Bienal was conceived to expand in space – extending through partnerships with more than 20 cultural institutions in the city. In addition to seeing the artist's work at Instituto Tomie Ohtake, starting September 4, a large number of images from the series Candomblé do Pai Cosme will be exhibited at the Biennial Pavilion. See the list with all network exhbitions here.
