Propeller Design Brazil Conferences | Forming Ideas This conference was the result of research undertaken in Brazil in spring 2010 and was developed in partnership with the Royal College of Art and was curated by the RCA's Martina Margetts Senior Tutor, Critical and Historical Studies. Brazil has one of the fastest growing economies in the world and a complex history and identity. The conference aimed to inform a UK-based audience about Brazil's contemporary visual culture, with a focus on areas of craft, design and social change. Key speakers from across the globe were invited to present. Adélia Borges, the leading Brazilian design writer and curator, gave the keynote lecture on Brazilian contemporary craft and design and their context. Frederico Duarte, Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation Scholar, discussed social projects led by academics and practitioners, drawing on his extensive recent primary research in Brazil.

raumlabor berlin minds & makers: Service Design and Design Thinking Festival Brazil - Southbank Centre Festival Brazil is a contemporary snapshot of a nation’s diverse culture in a vibrant growing economy and with some fierce social problems. The Festival reflects what the country is thinking and talking about today. A range of debates, talks, performances, exhibitions and installations by artists and leading cultural and political figures gives a sense of a nation that has moved from despair to hope in 20 years. Creative thinkers from Brazil and the UK also offer perspectives on Brazil’s global role in the 21st century and the way that culture can help shape civic society. The summer at Southbank Centre conjures up the joyful outdoor life that Brazilians revel in, as aspects of the site are transformed into places for performance and celebration. The Brazilian community in London have been crucial to the planning of the Festival and we’d like to thank them. We hope you enjoy it. Jude Kelly OBE Artistic Director, Southbank Centre Brazilian Words Consultant: Christina Baum
