Catherine Couturier Gallery is pleased to share AIPAD's series entitled AIPAD Talks featuring noted curators, collectors, artists, and writers. AIPAD Talks will be held via Zoom and will also be streamed live on AIPAD's Facebook page and are free to the public. Advance registration is required for Zoom.

The next AIPAD Talk is Fotoclubismo: Brazilian Modernist Photography and will be held on March 24, 2021 at 3:00 pm EST.

Heloisa Espada and Sarah Meister will discuss the upcoming exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, Fotoclubismo: Brazilian Modernist Photography, 1946–1964, which explores the unforgettable creative achievements of São Paulo’s Foto-Cine Clube Bandeirante (FCCB), a group of amateur photographers whose ambitious and innovative works embodied the abundant originality of postwar Brazilian culture. Although their work was widely heralded by other artists, particularly in the 1950s, this is the first museum exhibition to present this fascinating moment in photography’s history to audiences outside of Brazil.
