The Wexner Center for the Arts celebrates the vibrant culture of Brazil through Via Brasil, a multi-faceted exhibition showcasing Brazilian contemporary art (opening January 31). The culmination of this three-year, cross-disciplinary exploration includes Cruzamentos: Contemporary Brazilian Documentary; screenings of 33 documentary films produced in Brazil; and Cruzamentos: Contemporary Art in Brazil, 80 works spanning four galleries. “Cruzamentos,” or intersections, promotes the blending of cultures and ethnicities.

A wide selection of performing arts events and educational programs round out Via Brasil. Select Brazilian artists and filmmakers will introduce and discuss their works in person, adding a level of global perspective to the events. As Ohio State prepares to open a Global Gateway in Brazil, Via Brasil is an opportunity to experience Brazilian culture.
