Guided tour for adults by Pierre Verger – The One That I Am Not
Date: Sunday, September 8
Time: 2:00 – 3:30 p.m.
Price: Free (excluding museum admission)
Language: English
A tour for adults will take place on Sunday, September 8, from 2:00 to 3:30 pm. A guide and two Brazilian photographers will provide a different perspective on the current exhibition by French photographer Pierre Verger, who chose Bahia – a region in northeastern Brazil – as his home. This is an opportunity to bring portraits of Brazilian culture, so far away in time and space and so close to our emotions.
