About this program
Although better known as an architect, Lina Bo Bardi was also an important designer of exhibitions and a provocative thinker about the meaning and methods of displaying cultural artifacts. Over her career she designed several spaces for art and culture, including the São Paulo Museum of Art (MASP), Museum of Modern Art of Bahia (MAMB), and Casa do Benin, all featured in Isaac Julien’s film Lina Bo Bardi —A Marvellous Entanglement. The talk will focus on her designs for exhibitions and displays, reflecting on their context and continuing influence.
