Brazilian authorities canceled the auction for the São Borja-Santo Tomé International Bridge due to a lack of bidders
The project -requiring a US$ 99 million investment over 25 years- sought to modernize the 15.62-kilometer structure with upgrades like new access lanes
Initially postponed due to alleged irregularities
the auction was later cleared but failed to attract proposals
The bridge handles 23% of commerce between Argentina and Brazil by linking the city of São Borja in the state of Rio Grande do Sul with the municipality of Santo Tomé in the Argentine province of Corrientes
The bridge is the result of a 1989 bi-national agreement
The auction of the São Borja-Santo Tomé International Bridge
was canceled due to the absence of proposals, Brazil's Transport Ministry said in a statement
Since it is a pioneer project in Brazil
it will carry out a detailed technical analysis to identify the factors that led to the cancellation of the auction and try to overcome them in a future bidding process
The concession also contemplated border operations
guaranteeing efficient attention to cargo vehicles
and inspections required by regulatory agencies
The auction was initially scheduled for Jan
7 but was suspended by one of the magistrates of the Brazilian Court of Accounts (TCU) for alleged irregularities.
The suspension was requested by the company Ponta Negra Soluções Logísticas e Transportes
one of the interested parties in the process
which pointed out inconsistency in the traffic data presented and an alteration of the technical qualification criteria for those interested in participating in the auction
The measure was reversed by the court plenary
which ruled that the decision should be taken by the Argentine-Brazilian Joint Commission

12:58 amFacebookFacebook MessengerTwitterEmailMiguel Borja scored twice as Colombian side Atletico Nacional beat nine-man Sao Paulo 2-1 on Wednesday night and 4-1 on aggregate to advance to the Copa Libertadores final
Sao Paulo started brightly as they looked to claw back a 2-0 deficit from a first-leg home loss a week ago
as Jonathan Calleri headed home from the centre of the box from a cross in by Michel Bastos
But Borja fired Atletico back to level terms just seven minutes later when teammate Orlando Berrío found him in the centre of the penalty area with a through ball
The two teams stayed deadlocked for nearly 60 minutes after that until Sao Paulo's Carlinhos was whistled for a handball in the box and Borja stepped up to convert the penalty and all but put the game away
were shown red cards in the 79th minute to further put the match out of reach for the Brazilian club
Atletico is now into their first Copa Lib final in 21 years and will face the winner of Thursday's match between Independiente del Valle and Boca Juniors in Buenos Aires
with the Ecuadorian side holding a narrow 2-1 advantage after last week's first leg

The Pampa grassland of South America covers just 2% of Brazil’s territory
dwarfed to the north by the immense rainforest
wetland and savanna landscapes of the Amazon
But while global attention focuses on these latter three
with much of the grassland vegetation cleared for agriculture and forestry
agricultural land use in the Brazilian Pampa increased by 2.1 million hectares (5.2 million acres)
while forestry plantations (pine and eucalyptus) expanded by more than 720,000 hectares (1.8 million acres) — growth of 1,667%
The research also looked at the Uruguayan and Argentine portions of the Pampa (across the three countries
the biome covers a total area of 110 million hectares
or 272 million acres — nearly twice the size of France)
It showed a total reduction of 20% of the grassland vegetation in the biome from 1985-2022
including 9.1 million hectares (22.5 million acres) of native grassland
Hectare for hectare, the Brazilian Pampa has the greatest biodiversity of plant species of any of the country’s biomes
an agronomist at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)
But this has suffered drastically as the native vegetation is cleared
the biome is among the most degraded in the country
ahead of the Amazon and the Cerrado,” Tiecher says
The loss of the ecosystem is the main threat to native fauna and flora
“Around a quarter of rural birds are subject to some degree of extinction threat in at least one part of the biome
and around 30 species of mammals are at risk of disappearing forever,” he says
amphibians and plants are also threatened.”
says agricultural expansion in the Pampa is taking place so rapidly that researchers are unable to monitor the real state of conservation across the biome
“On every trip to the biome to monitor and research the annual fish
we come across a more critical situation in relation to the known areas of occurrence and others that are suitable for their survival,” he says
Santos cites the case of annual rivulids, or cloud fish
which inhabit small ponds that form in the grasslands during the rainy
they grow very quickly and already reproduce
because at the end of spring their aquatic environments dry up and they die,” Santos says
“But their eggs are buried in the mud and won’t hatch until next year
there is no indication that unique species of fish live there.”
The advance of agriculture and forestry plantations — and the consequent destruction of large areas of native grassland and fields — is also contributing to aggravating an old problem in the Brazilian Pampa
dotted throughout Brazil’s south and southwest
when most of south-central Brazil was an immense desert
Known geologically as the Botucatu Formation
caused by the gradual weathering of bedrock
arenization regions in Brazil are considered areas of special attention
driven by movements of water and wind over the course of millions of years
is associated with factors such as climate
may or may not be related to agricultural activities
Verdum says these sandy patches in the Pampa are related to the susceptibility of the region’s rocks and soils to the dynamics of torrential rains and periods of drought
the sandy areas are constantly being reworked by climatic agents
essentially water and wind,” he says
Agricultural activities in naturally fragile areas
coupled with a bedrock that’s highly susceptible to arenization
boost the factors that initiate and contribute to this process
“The impacts of poor soil use and management
using technologies that are unsuitable for the fragile soils of this region
could be one of the main factors contributing to the emergence of new outbreaks of arenization in the current context,” Verdum says
says what’s happening in the Pampa is the intensification
of erosive processes associated with arenization
“The soils are fragile and poorly consolidated
or the weight of agricultural machinery itself
can compact the soil and help to develop furrows through which water will flow in a concentrated manner until it develops ravines and
these processes move and expand sandy sediments through the action of water and wind
Verdum says there hasn’t been a net expansion in sandy areas since monitoring carried out in the 1980s
But they could still be aggravated by agricultural production
these barren spots cover 3,663 hectares (9,051 acres)
spread across the municipalities of Alegrete
This might be just a fraction of the total extent of the Pampa
but it’s significant for each landowner whose property is affected by the phenomenon
a rice grower and president of the Rural Union of Itaqui and Maçambará
of which 46 hectares (114 acres) were sand patches when he bought the property more than 15 years ago
as it amounted to more than a third of my property,” he says
That’s why he decided to restore the area
Borges achieved good results by covering the sand with rice husks or rice ash
around 25-30 hectares [62-74 acres] have been reclaimed,” he says
the natural vegetation has returned.”
Borges’s success contrasts favorably with the more common method of trying to recover sandy areas here
sometimes with the support of the state government of Rio Grande do Sul
have sought to green the areais by planting eucalyptus trees
“Many of the proposals for economic activities
which see the sands only as a problem to be tackled
are responsible for interventions that decharacterize the landscape and alter the dynamics of this ecosystem,” Silva says
This is the shortcoming of the forestry approach
he says: the idea that the solution should also be commercially viable
the sand area is not recovered; it is only hidden in aerial images and all the biodiversity adapted to the region is replaced by eucalyptus and leaves on the ground,” he says
“Some plant species are endemic to sandy fields
The erosion processes don’t stop and the natural dynamics are altered
not to mention the landscape transformation
which changes the herbaceous and shrub vegetation with sandy fields into a large ‘green wall.’”

2014) – The LA Galaxy announced today that the club has acquired Brazilian forward Samuel on loan from Fluminense of Brazil’s Serie A
The 22-year-old joins the Galaxy after spending the past two seasons with Fluminense
tallying 15 goals in 72 appearances across all competitions for the Rio de Janeiro-based side
including one in his last game for the club early last month
Samuel will be added to the Galaxy roster pending the receipt of his International Transfer Certificate (ITC) and P1 Visa
Per club and league policy terms of the loan agreement were not disclosed.
“We are pleased to add Samuel to our roster,” said LA Galaxy Head Coach and General Manager Bruce Arena
We are confident his addition will help boost our attack in 2014.”
Samuel debuted for Fluminense during the 2012 Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A season
scoring five goals in 23 league appearances for the club
which won their fourth championship in club history that year
He also made five appearances in the 2012 Campeonato Carioca
which is the regional championship for the state of Rio de Janeiro
helping lead the club to that title as well
the 22-year-old had nine goals in 45 appearances in all competitions
four times in the Campeonato Carioca and once in the Copa do Brazil
He started in 12 of his 24 league appearances for Fluminense while also appearing in eight games during that year’s Copa Libertadores
helping his team reach the quarterfinals of South America’s premier continental club competition
Samuel began his professional career with Internacional in 2009
He won the first of three youth championships with the club that year
helping Internacional claim the Campeonato Gaúcho Under-20 title
Samuel and the Porto Alegre club won both the 2010 Campeonato Gaúcho Under-19 championship and the inaugural Campeonato Brasileiro Under-23 crown
such as the Indigenous cultures and the African diaspora in Latin America
in addition to the Arab world and the Asian continent
The exhibition aims to overrule the hierarchies that were imposed with the transition to modernity
in light of the capitalist colonial project
which can be visited until December 10 at Ibirapuera Park — an emblem of rationalist purism projected by architect Oscar Niemeyer — is directed by a diverse team: curator Diane Lima
anthropologist and art researcher Hélio Menezes (both Brazilians) and the Portuguese artist and theorist Grada Kilomba
all three of African descent; with them is Spanish Manuel Borja-Villel in his first project since he left the management of the Reina Sofía Museum in January
The result is similar to other recent attempts to establish a counter-narrative of art history, such as the latest Documenta or the 2022 Venice Biennale
“Our work does not aspire to create a counter-image
but to abandon the discourses that have been imposed on us as universal narratives,” explained Kilomba
but ignoring that hegemonic model seems desirable when it is time to create other worldviews
the biennial opposes the Western conception of time as a straight line that advances towards a supposedly better future
substituted here by the temporality of native peoples
collectives and social movements who understand time as a spiral
who believe in recurrences and who break with the idea of the past
present and future as if they were hermetic categories,” explains Menezes
The setting itself reflects that idea: it is an immense open space where one can wander
with no defined sections or literal themes
guided by “an enigma,” in the words of Borja-Villel
At the beginning of the exhibition there is an installation titled Parliament of Ghosts, by Ghanaian Ibrahim Mahama
that presents an empty brick square next to an abandoned railway
close to another work by Brazilian Ana Pi in which revolving metal blades penetrate some reddish earth; two metaphors of Western extractivism in which the silence of the oppressed seems to reign
a mix between Darth Vader and Mickey Mouse is poised for cutting logs with a chainsaw in a monumental installation that recreates a glade
who is determined to denounce “the genocide of the forests” and the harmful potential of the American cultural imperialism
their songs and their superheroes,” said Tahimik
the Guatemalan Marilyn Boror Bor presented the pedestal of an absent sculpture
without a heroic figure crowning the ensemble
which the artist dedicated to “the freedom of rivers
this one also scours the past in search of some tutelary figures that promoted this vindication of the excluded and defended mutant identities
African-American Charles White or Franco-Antillean filmmaker Sarah Maldoror
Borja-Villel obtained the supposedly impossible loan of an invaluable series of 116 Bolivian watercolors from the 19th century
which subvert and satirize the colonial order and even contemplate an “upside-down world” where an ox uses two men
The Cabello/Carceller duo reminds us that gender dissent is not strictly a recent matter through the story of Catalina de Erauso
the lieutenant nun who took part in the Conquest with a papal bull that allowed her to dress as a man
presents a long series of graffiti that was transferred from the walls of prisons and psychiatric hospitals to the walls of the museum
albeit with no intention to take up the discourses on naïve art that used to be so popular in the world of art until not so long ago
a series of pagan altars and mutant totems
reflect the hybrid nature of contemporary identity in the works of Latin American artists such as Elda Cerrato
Benvenuto Chavajay stages atavistic rituals in current contexts
as if reaffirming their usefulness and validity in the present
in a fantasy example that ethnography would surely reject as unscientific
A similar role is played by the Yanomami filmmakers
who capture the dreams of the members of this Amazonian people in a series of videos that oscillate between the anthropological document and the poetic license
The biennial is also committed to rereading the archives, as they tend to “condemn the losers to always be losers,” says Borja-Villel. A photographic collection about Argentine transgender individuals shows that they were not only victims of violent oppression; they were also beings who desired and were desired
Rosa Gauditano’s work documents the lives of lesbians in São Paulo
who in addition to being ostracized are also excellent pool players
while Zumví Arquivo Afro Fotográfico shows the lives of the members of the working class in Salvador de Bahía
more complex than what the media shows: the nuns demonstrate
the poor have fun and the carnival is a political celebration
Between dissident cosmogonies and large-format installations created with natural materials such as textiles, terracotta and turmeric in the work of Daniel Lie, one can find the restaurant of the biennial, run by the Movimento Sem Teto do Centro
which fights for the right to decent housing in the city
It only serves organic and ethically produced food
“against the chemicals that slowly poison us,” Menezes states
a series of colored banners display slogans such as “Domestic is political” or “Ask the soil and the roots.”

Self-evident in the design of the façade is Bak Gordon’s underlying philosophy of constructing a house expressive of the contemporary era while honoring the inherent qualities of its site
The facade not only engages with the urban context but also establishes a dialogue with the internal environments of the house
The ground floor exemplifies this concept by featuring a wooden grid that encompasses the access door and garage door
creating a visual connection between the interior and exterior spaces
the dining room is adorned with a solitary window
and the living room floor boasts a subtracted space adorned with a small garden/flower box
effectively bridging the gap between the indoor and outdoor realms
the house primarily comprises two interconnected volumes
which enclose a central patio accessible via a covered loggia adorned entirely with handmade tiles
The layout of the residence offers a captivating promenade experience
the private bedroom and office spaces create an intimate atmosphere
culminating in the rooftop terrace that offers panoramic views of the Tagus River
The careful selection of materials plays a pivotal role in shaping the personality and atmosphere of Bak Gordon’s ‘House in Rua São Francisco de Borja’ in Lisbon
Exposed concrete dominates the facades and ceilings
and Thermo modified wood in the main façade further contribute to the building’s unique character
These materials not only enhance the visual appeal but also serve to establish a sense of place and identity within the local context
the house unfolds along the length of the plot
as two interconnected volumes enclose a central patio private bedroom and office spaces are arranged horizontally
the project blends contemporary design with the unique characteristics of Lisbon’s Lapa neighborhood
interiors are dominated by exposed concrete details

Colombian international striker Miguel Borja has finally landed at Argentine First Division football club River Plate after the country's economic situation had cast doubts on the feasibility of the transaction
Read also: No more foreign players for Argentine football clubs due to US dollar crisis
signed a three-season contract with the club after an economic operation worth US$ 7 million involving Colombian club Junior of Barranquilla as owners of the player's transfer rights and Sao Paulo's Palmeiras where the footballer was on loan
He had his medical check-up, River's second vice-president
Ignacio Villarroel announced in a radio interview
The Colombian striker thanked God for the opportunity he is giving me to be able to go to one of the best [clubs] in the continent. It will be Borja's second spell in Argentine soccer
after playing for Bahía Blanca's Olimpo in the 2014 season
Borja's deal had made the news on the economy pages as a reflection of the country's economic plights
followed by jokes on the case by newly-appointed Economy Minister Silvina Batakis
During a TV appearance amis restrictions on the availability of foreign currency to Argentine traders
Batakis was asked if she would allow River to have access to the dollars needed to hire Borja
famous for rooting for River's archrivals Boca Juniors replied: Of course not
jokes always involve a certain amount of truth

São Paulo Bienal has announced the full list of participating artists for the 35th edition
titled Choreographies of the Impossible and scheduled to open on 6 September
have selected a whopping total of 120 artists whose works address the urgencies of today’s world and echo the experiences of diasporas and indigenous people via local and international dialogues
‘The participants in this Bienal challenge the impossible in its most varied and incalculable forms,’ the curators said
and escape from the impossibilities of the world in which they live
and their artistic expressions are transformed by the very impossibilities of our time
as a politics of movement and political movements interwoven into artistic expressions
It is an invitation to move among artists who transcend the idea of a progressive
Impossibility is the guiding thread and the main criterion that guides the selection of these participants.’

Diane Lima and Hélio Menezes feature in ‘decentralised’ edition
The Fundação Bienal has announced that the 2023 Bienal de São Paulo – its 35th edition – will be curated by a team comprised of Manuel Borja-Villel
The exhibition will not feature a chief curator
but will be organised by the curatorial collective ‘in a decentralised manner’
The lineup represents progress of sorts for an exhibition (founded in 1951 – the world’s second oldest art biennial after Venice) which has never been led by a Black or indigenous curator – and has rarely featured women in the top role either
Borja-Villel is an art historian and director of the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid since 2008
Lima is a researcher and curator whose work focuses on decolonial perspectives – she recently cocurated Frestas – 3rd Triennial de Artes do Sesc SP
And Menezes is an anthropologist at the Universidade de São Paulo – recently curator of contemporary art at Centro Cultural São Paulo
Meanwhile, Kilomba is an artist, whose multidisciplinary practice mixes history, theory and performance. “If I am to tell my story, I cannot tell it with the language of disciplines that have colonised me: the language of the patriarchy and of the colonisers,” she recently told ArtReview’s Fi Churchman
The biennial’s 2021 edition, titled Though It’s Dark, Still I Sing, was curated by Jacopo Crivelli Visconti. The show captured the sombre mood of a country ravaged by the pandemic, ecological destruction and political failure – while also gesturing at moments of social repair, wrote ArtReview‘s Oliver Basciano in his review last year

With the aid of a group of modern geospatial technologies
the IBGE has updated the length of the border strip that connects it with South American countries
That national security area is 1.4 million km2 large and covers 16.6% of the Brazilian territory
The border strip is 150 km wide and has an extension of 15.9 mil km alongside neighboring countries
A total 588 municipalities are part of it: 432 entirely within the strip limit and 156
Most municipalities in the border strip area located in southern states: 196 in Rio Grande do Sul
Other 121 municipalities are out of the border strip
“The recent updates have been made in the south border
in the section that goes from Uruguay up to Bolivia
due to a series of improvements in the border
without necessarily meaning a change in the territory of one country or another
These adjustments result from the improvement of the equipment used
satellite images that allow the magnifying of areas”
In order to effect those changes together with the 10 countries on Brazilian borders
the IBGE seeks advice from the Boundary Demarcation Commission from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
which is in charge of the demarcation and characterization of Brazilian boundaries
The update of the east end of the strip is the result of efforts made by the IBGE state and local branches aiming at gathering information on new municipal boundary figures
We count on our state and local branches to obtain the information we need”
The current measurement has been based on the Geocentric Reference System for the Americas (SIRGAS2000) and the areas were calculated by means of geoprocessing
The IBGE had already calculated the borderland strip in 1941

At the 35th São Paulo Bienal, the second oldest biennial the world—and the largest contemporary art event in the Southern Hemisphere and the Americans—Filipino artist Kidlat Tahimik’s “Killing Us Softly… with their S.P.A.M.S
Superheroes)” is front and center of it all
eye-catching installation—a series of “areas” fashioned mostly from wood
which he had packed into three containers from the Philippines
It is the largest installation at this year’s biennial
“Killing Us Softly,” is the artist’s continuing discourse on colonization
Indigenous stewards of the forests attempt to strengthen their sense of identity with the Earth goddess Gaia through myth-sharing
Mickey Vader (a hybrid between Mickey Mouse and Darth Vader)
this is Tahimik’s wakeup call to Filipinos
“The problem now is that most of our young people know the middle name of Superman or the birthday of Wonder Woman but they don’t know details about our own inner superheroes,” he tells Vogue Philippines in São Paulo
It’s something he has attempted to re-write in his installation: Ferdinand Magellan is given a death blow with a pair of arnis (bamboo) sticks by Lapu-Lapu’s wife
who was a warrior and shaman on her own; the Trojan Horse is repelled by a tsunami of Bulol protectors; and Marilyn Monroe—often portrayed holding down her windblown dress—is seen being blown away by Filipino wind goddess Inhabian.
“The missionaries and conquistadors knew that if you kill the stories and the culture
and maybe it’s easier to get their resources
“We have to protect the storytelling so that Darth Vader and Captain America and all the other superheroes from Hollywood are not killing our stories
there’s also this story of Inabian there’s also the story of Matan-ayon
I hope we can revive that and maybe that’s the last hope for our planet not to go all the way to the climate change chaos.”
The Baguio-born and raised national artist for film was specifically invited by Manuel Borja-Villel
one of the Bienal’s curators and formerly Director at the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid
(The latter had also invited him to showcase in Madrid in 2021.) “With Kidlat
there is something that is extraordinary,” Borja-Villel tells Vogue Philippines
“He is traditionally a filmmaker and to me
and that’s very important—to do a film without a camera; to understand a film in a different way
He creates a cinema where you are inside the movie
Mickey Mouse who is Darth Vader—this mix up of times is going beyond cinema
and that is the reason why I brought him.”
Filipino contemporary artist Geraldine Javier is also exhibiting at the Bienal
with her installations displayed prominently on the second floor
“Oblivious to Oblivion” is a suspended installation made from embroideries of plants and vegetables on silk organza
“The fleeting reflections of spectators in the small mirrors further insist on an undifferentiated humanity,” describes art critic Carles Guerra for the Bienal
“challenging its deeply rooted antagonism with the natural world.” On a walled chamber behind
her works “Creatures in Search of their Species,” “Insist on Hope
Desist from Despair,” and “New Cloud Forming” are on display.
Borja-Villel had also handpicked the artist after coming across her work while reading Donna Haraway’s “Staying with the Trouble,” whose cover art was done by Javier
“Geraldine really develops a new form of dealing with non-human beings,” he shares
“A new form of nature which is totally extraordinary.”
Entitled “Choreographies of the Impossible,” the 35th São Paulo Bienal features over 120 artists from around the world
with recurring themes that highlight social justice
The 35th São Paulo Bienal runs from now until December 10
