Following on from the black and white series, today I'm reliving, in color, my stay in Rio de Janeiro exactly two decades ago, in November and December 2004.
A mixture of travel exploration and work responsibility at the Instituto Benjamim Constant. These images are not touristy, they are just some notes/documents of places I had the opportunity to experience in the Marvelous City.
As I mentioned in my previous post, this stay was one of the most enriching experiences I've had. Leaving, traveling and experiencing the unknown enriches us enormously.
In this case, collaborating in the celebrations for the 150th anniversary of the Instituto Benjamim Constant was extremely beneficial in both professional and personal terms. There was another experience that enriched me as a human being: the opportunity to visit the Rocinha favela. A dream come true that I will share in a future publication.
Urca neighborhood
Located in the southern part of Rio de Janeiro, it is one of the most important places in Brazil's history. It was built on embankments at the beginning of the 20th century, but its history began earlier: “It served as a military base for the Portuguese and was part of the context of the countless conflicts between the Portuguese, the French and the Indians, and only took on the form we know today in 1870. At that time, a Portuguese merchant called Domingos Fernandes Pinto planned to transform the site into a new city with more artistic buildings.” According to information from the website “Parque Bondinho - Pão de Açúcar”. 👇

Rio de Janeiro a cores.
Na sequência da série a preto e branco hoje revivo, a cores, a minha estadia no Rio de Janeiro exatamente há duas décadas atrás, em novembro e dezembro de 2004.
ﾠ
Um misto entre a exploração da viagem e a responsabilidade de trabalho, no Instituto Benjamim Constant. Estas imagens não apresentam um olhar turístico, são apenas alguns apontamentos/documentos de lugares que tive oportunidade de sentir na Cidade Maravilhosa.
ﾠ
Como referi na publicação anterior esta estadia foi das experiências mais enriquecedoras que vivi. Partir, viajar, viver o desconhecido, enriquece-nos enormemente.
ﾠ
Neste caso, a colaboração nas comemorações 150° aniversário do Instituto Benjamim Constant, foi extremamente benéfico em termos profissionais e pessoais. Houve outra experiência que me engrandeceu humanamente, a oportunidade de visitar a favela da Rocinha. Um sonho realizado que irei partilhar numa próxima publicação.
Bairro da Urca
Foi neste bairro que vivi durante a estadia, situado na zona sul do Rio de Janeiro é um dos lugares marcantes e relacionado com a história do Brasil. Foi construído sobre aterros no início do século XX mas a sua história começou antes, “serviu de base militar dos portugueses e fez parte de todo o contexto dos inúmeros conflitos entre portugueses, franceses e índios, foi ganhando a forma como conhecemos atualmente apenas no ano de 1870. Nessa época, um comerciante português chamado Domingos Fernandes Pinto, planejou transformar o local em uma nova cidade com prédios de características mais artísticas.” Segundo informação do website “Parque Bondinho – Pão de Açúcar”.
