Walls of Air

Walls of Air was created for the Brazilian Pavilion at the 16th Venice Architecture Biennale in May 2018. Curated by Sol Camacho, Laura González Fierro, Gabriel Kozlowski, and Marcelo Maia Rosa (photo), the exhibition seeks to unveil the visible and invisible walls that have shaped Brazil. It showcases several large-scale maps that weave a narrative of issues affecting not only Brazil but also other countries in the Americas. The maps examine the country’s borders, the history of the founding of its cities, the flows of people through migration, the flows of raw materials and commodities, the real estate market, and environmental issues.

On display until August 3, 2019 @Americas Society
