Contemporary Art Educational Practices: The Experience of the Bienal de São Paulo 
On Wednesday 14, the education team will present projects developed in the context of the 35th Bienal de São Paulo – choreographies of the impossible such as educational publications, mediated visits, courses and other actions to promote the Bienal, its history and the historic building it occupies. The purpose of the conversation is to share experiences of education in contemporary art, considering the diverse audiences and contexts in which they take place, and to create a dialogue with education professionals working in La Paz.
The Bienal’s education team proposes conversations about and with the three movements of the educational publication of the 35th Bienal. The educational publication of the choreographies of the impossible is divided into three different movements – or volumes – with content focused on mediation and promotion actions. The third movement, specially prepared for the traveling exhibitions program, was produced based on practices carried out throughout the exhibition at the Pavilion and is distributed free of charge to the participants. The meeting is influenced by the thoughts of poet, playwright, and Professor Leda Maria Martins, artist Rosana Paulino, curator and researcher Sandra Benites, Regina Aparecida Pereira and Cíntia Aparecida Delgado, leaders of the Quilombo Cafundó. The meeting with the educational publication will take place on Friday 16, from 10am to 12pm at the Museo Nacional de Arte.
Meeting with the Educational Publication of the 35th Bienal
During the opening, Bienal’s education team will conduct in-person guided tours, lasting two hours. This tour invites the public to explore the traveling exhibition.
These initiatives aim to create a collaborative and dynamic learning environment, providing enriching experiences for teachers, educators, mediators, and art enthusiasts. With a focus on public interaction and the promotion of contemporary art, the program seeks to strengthen ties between cultural institutions and contribute to a more inclusive society.
