Methods: A cross-sectional, mixed-method study was conducted on fourteen trained classical ballet dancers (18–30 years old). Their experiences, perceptions, and feelings regarding eating attitudes and body image concerning classical ballet were acquired through qualitative focus groups. The presence of EDs symptoms and perception and (dis)satisfaction with body image was analyzed quantitatively through self-report questionnaires.

articles Aim: We aimed to explore how a group of classical ballet dancers perceived their eating attitudes and their bodies with special attention to the potential presence of eating disorders (EDs) symptoms and body image (dis)satisfaction mixed-method study was conducted on fourteen trained classical ballet dancers (18–30 years old) and feelings regarding eating attitudes and body image concerning classical ballet were acquired through qualitative focus groups The presence of EDs symptoms and perception and (dis)satisfaction with body image was analyzed quantitatively through self-report questionnaires Results: Participants reported concerning eating attitudes during the focus groups such as the regular practice of several restrictive popular diets constant restriction of foods considered “heavy” or “fatty,” meal skipping and ignoring signs of hunger presence of overeating episodes due to stress and anxiety feeling guilty about breaking their usual diet classifying foods as “good” and “bad” or “lean” and “fat,” and excluding some of those foods from their usual diets These reports were partially reflected in the questionnaires with 50% of the ballerinas showing bulimic symptoms indicative of an unusual eating pattern (only two of them with a significant risk index) 7.1% showing symptoms of moderate binge eating when considering their bodies in the context of everyday life in the “classical ballet” context they reported feeling dissatisfied with their shape These findings were in line with results from the Stunkard's Scale which revealed that 50% of the sample was dissatisfied with their current body shape and 57.1% indicated that their desired body shape was a leaner figure than one they considered healthy Conclusions: The constant practice of restrictive diets and other weight-loss strategies to achieve a leaner body were associated with symptoms of EDs and body dissatisfaction in this sample the questionnaires used seemed to underestimate the presence of a disordered eating pattern reported by the participants during focus groups These data could help to inform psychological and nutritional strategies aimed at improving performance EDs in athletes may have major health and performance consequences, namely, premature muscle fatigue, impaired thermoregulation, impaired oxygen and nutrient transport, reduced aerobic capacity, bone loss, increased susceptibility to infections, anemia, gastrointestinal disorders, and dehydration (6), in addition to increased susceptibility to depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem (7) no study has investigated specific eating attitudes associated with EDs and body image in classical ballet dancers by combining both quantitative and qualitative approaches which may allow for a more in-depth investigation into this relationship and help understand associated feelings and perceptions we expected to better understand how the participants' rehearsal and championship routines the relationship with their coaches and peers and their career goals related to their eating attitudes This approach may also lead to new areas of investigation new behaviors and attitudes potentially associated with EDs in this population and feelings regarding eating attitudes associated with EDs symptoms and body image (dis)satisfaction in classical ballet dancers using a mixed-method approach and feelings regarding eating attitudes and body image in relation to the classical ballet were qualitatively explored through focus groups the presence of EDs symptoms and perception and (dis)satisfaction of body image was analyzed quantitatively through self-report questionnaires Four Ballet schools in the city of Campinas Two schools declined to participate in the study All dancers from the two schools who agreed to participate took part in the study The convenience sample consisted of 14 female ballet dancers aged between 18 and 30 years (22 ± 4 years) with a BMI between 17.8 and 22.0 kg/m2 (20.6 ± 2.1 kg/m2) who regularly trained in ballet schools (more than 4 times a week) Participants had been practicing ballet for an average of 14 ± 7 years and 8 of the 14 participants were professional ballet dancers at the time of the study The other participants of the study (6) were not professional dancers although they still took regular ballet classes and competed in some local ballet competitions All participants signed the Informed Consent Form (CAAE: 95432818.5.0000.8142) approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) before entering the study which aimed to guide the conversation and ensure that all necessary topics were covered The questions were first created by two researchers who discussed the objectives of the study and raised aspects they considered relevant to be addressed questions were either approved or vetted by three other researchers two of whom were experts in EDs and one in sports science leading to the final questions used in the study we asked participants to report experiences and thoughts about their rehearsal routine; features of their usual diets; changes in their usual diets when close to championships or vacations; whether they compared their diets with non-dancers' diets; whether other people make comments about their eating patterns and how they felt regarding these opinions We also asked if they had previously followed restricted diets and why; which foods they “cannot” eat during their usual diets and how they dealt with any potential desires to eat these foods; what they eat after championships or presentations; what was a pleasurable meal for them and how they felt when they ate it we raised questions about what they felt regarding their bodies in different contexts (i.e. in the context of classical ballet and in everyday life); whether they received comments from others about their bodies and what their diets would look like if they stopped dancing Focus groups were not used to assess the frequency or the extent of disordered eating attitudes and behaviors in a private room with no contact with the school's coaches or staff and later transcribed verbatim to enable qualitative analysis The presence of EDs symptoms was assessed quantitatively via three self-administered questionnaires, all translated into Portuguese and previously validated for the Brazilian population (18–21) To assess eating attitudes and behaviors, we used the Eating Attitude Test (EAT-26) (22) This is a self-administered questionnaire composed of 26 questions across 3 categories: (1) Dieting: Reflects a pathological refusal to eat high-calorie foods and intense preoccupation with body image; (2) Bulimia: Refers to episodes of excessive food intake followed by vomiting and other behaviors to prevent weight gain; (3) Food Preoccupation: Refers to self-control over food and recognized social forces in the environment that stimulate food intake Each question has 6 answer options (always = 3 Scores ≥ 21 correspond to abnormal eating behavior and increased risk of ED The Bulimic Investigatory Test Edinburgh (BITE) aims to identify individuals with ED, specifically bulimia nervosa, and to evaluate control over eating behaviors (23) It consists of 33 questions divided into 2 parts All questions relating to symptoms (all questions apart from 6 and 27) are answered “yes” or “no,” with corresponding scores of 1 or 0 points and 27 relate to the severity of the symptoms and are scored on scales ranging from 1 to 5 (Q.6) or 1 to 7 (Q.7 and 27) a score > 10 is representative of atypical eating behaviors while scores > 20 indicate compulsive a score ≥ 5 indicates that symptoms may be clinically significant while scores ≥ 10 indicate high severity To assess binge eating and the severity of symptoms, we used the Binge Eating Scale (BES) (24) each with 3 or 4 answer options scoring from 0 to 3 (0 = absence of symptom and 3 = severe symptom) Scores ≤ 17 indicate the absence of binge-eating behaviors; scores between 18 and 26 indicate moderate binge-eating behaviors and scores ≥ 27 indicate severe binge-eating behaviors Perception of body image was assessed using the Stunkard's Scale (25) ranging from a very thin figure (# 1) to a very obese figure (# 9) one they believe best represents their current body one they believe represents a desirable body and one they consider to be a healthy body Scores were calculated by subtracting the current body choice by the desirable body and healthy body choice Negative scores represent body dissatisfaction Speeches from participants are identified as “P.” Codes and kappa coefficients from focus groups From the symptom scale of the BITE questionnaire, 7 dancers (50.0%) showed bulimic symptoms, obtaining a score between 10 and 19 (medium score, suggesting unusual eating patterns), 6 of them being professionals. The other 7 dancers (50.0%) of the sample presented low scores. Moreover, on the severity scale, only two participants (14.3%), also professional ones, presented clinically significant scores whereas the remaining participants presented low scores (Table 2) Frequency of reporting in different Stunkard's Scale categories Images adapted from Stunkard's scale When asked about their usual eating pattern dancers agreed on the importance of having a dietary routine for performing as a dancer: “Here (in the ballet school) we have a tight schedule so we must have a healthy dietary routine in order to have energy and feel willing to take the dance classes and rehearsals” (P3) They also emphasized the fact that they stick to a regular diet during the week allowing for some exceptions on the weekend: “I control myself during the week so I can eat an ice cream on the weekend” (P5) or “From Monday to Saturday I eat healthy foods on Sundays I usually falter and have a milk shake or cutting out specific foods such as sodas or even rice during weekdays either as a dietary strategy or due to rehearsal schedule issues: “On weekdays I eat ‘right’: I don't drink soda Another issue brought up by the dancers was that eating fatty foods or foods they considered as ”heavy“ lead to increased fatigue and decreased performance during classes and rehearsals: ”if you eat junk food on a day that you have rehearsals dancers expressed concern during periods when they step out of their usual diet leading to an “all or nothing” eating behavior [“On weekends I throw everything up in the air” (P1); “When I start a restrictive diet I'll eat whatever I want” (P8)] Episodes of overeating were also brought up by some ballet dancers when it came to eating what they considered to be “pleasurable foods”: “One day I picked up a Nutella jar and I ate it and cried later” (P1) “When I eat sweets I feel heavy and I feel a little remorse” (P12) The dancers also mentioned strategies for not deviating from their diets and eating foods considered “bad” or “fatty”: “I drink a lot of water Drink some water!” (P4); or “At night The role of dieting in a dancer's life was also discussed they tried to follow popular restrictive diets such as “Detox,” “Low-carb,” and “Keto-diet.” When asked about possible motives which had led them to undergo these types of diet such as “Desire to see immediate results” (P5); “I did it due to lack of maturity” (P6); “To improve my performance My body had to work harder and recover faster” (P2); or “Aesthetics the dancer always has to be thin” (P7); or even the influence of social media [“I always saw the nutritionists on Instagram saying that ‘low-carb’ is good for this and that” (P7)] When it came to pre-championships or pre-dance festivals dancers agreed that they usually change their eating pattern during times of increased rehearsal hours and when feeling fat while dressing up: “When it gets closer to a competition or dance festivals we feel anxious and we eat a little more or a little less otherwise we feel heavy” (P3); “If I want to eat some chocolate I think ‘I'm too close to the presentation I won't eat it”’ (P7) Dancers also debated types of food they eat after championships and dance festivals [“Almost every time we compete we have a burger or a pizza afterwards” (P9)] and motives underlying these behaviors [“It's kind of a reward When asked if they would change something in their usual diets if they stopped dancing the dancers said they would not change much just adapt to a new routine: “Maybe a less restricted and worrying diet but always looking for a balance” (P8) The relationship of participants with external opinions such as family friends and colleagues regarding their eating habits was also discussed: “My dad is always watchful with the things that I eat and he constantly says things like ‘oh and I know he does that because of the ballet” (P13); “When I'm with someone who's not a dancer and they see me eating an ice cream for example (...) they often say: ‘Wow can a ballerina eat ice cream?” (P7); “I am a vegetarian and I usually eat in healthy restaurants I am fussy about food and that I am ‘fitness”’ (P14) When dancers were asked about the consequences of these external opinions on their attitudes Many said they do not care; some said they do not care anymore but that at some point in their lives these comments caused some discomfort; and others said it bothers them: “When I was younger about a year and a half ago I stopped caring about those comments” (P8); or “From the moment a person looks at me and says thinks like ‘Are you really going eat this?’ I eat the whole thing thinking that I shouldn't eat it” (P1) and concerns of ballet dancers toward their bodies were discussed during focus groups Participants' perceptions toward their bodies varied when they put it into context: “When I look in the mirror like a normal person but if I look in the mirror as a ballerina I want to die” (P1); “When it comes to ballet practice since there is always someone correcting me so I get more uncomfortable” (P11) Dancers also mentioned situations where they heard external opinions about their bodies: “Once I heard from one (teacher): you are not fat but you have wide knuckles” (P9); “Actually I always heard people say that I am too skinny and I suffered a lot with this” (P10); “There was a teacher one time that told me to lose butt fat” (P13) most of them said they did not care about these opinions regarding their bodies: “If I cared I would go crazy” (P13) the participants agreed that there is a predefined stereotype assigned to the classical ballet dancers and that it had a large influence on whether they wanted to become a professional: “I don't have the ideal ballet dancer body type I'm lucky that I wasn't born with that dream (...) I see myself more on the side of the contemporary dance there is a pattern that ‘they’ want and to say that I want it to be a professional but there is this stereotype factor” (P12) The aim of this study was to explore experiences and feelings regarding eating attitudes associated with EDs symptoms and body image (dis)satisfaction in a cohort of ballet dancers eating attitudes related to the regular practice of several restrictive popular diets constant restriction of foods considered “heavy” or “fatty,” meal skipping and ignoring signs of hunger were identified in our participants overeating episodes due to stress and anxiety feeling guilty about breaking their usual diet (using expressions like “I threw everything up in the air” or “I flinched”) classifying foods as “good” and “bad” or “lean” and “fat,” and excluding some of those foods from their usual diets were also reported by these ballet dancers These reports of disordered eating were partially reflected in the questionnaires A strong association between the practice of weight-loss diets and the development of EDs has been extensively shown in the literature (29). A study that tracked 1,000 teenage girls for 1 year showed that the relative risk of a dieter developing EDs is eight times higher than a non-dieter, thus concluding that dieting is a strong risk factor for the development of EDs (30) Since many of the ballet dancers in the study reported the habit of regular dieting in addition to disordered eating symptoms on the questionnaires it is more than possible that these symptoms may develop into clinical EDs Ballet dancers and coaches should be made aware of these dangerous practices to reduce the risk of these athletes developing serious EDs The participants also talked about applying certain strategies such as drinking water or going to sleep when feeling hungry to prevent themselves from eating “junk food” or foods that did not form part of their usual diets particularly near competitions and dance festivals This may explain the higher symptoms score on the BITE questionnaire compared to the BES and the EAT-26 since the symptoms part of BITE is composed of “yes” or “no” questions while BES and EAT-26 are related to the frequency of behaviors although only 7–15% of the sample reported a high frequency of these behaviors It is noteworthy that the questionnaires used in the study seemed to underestimate the presence of a disordered eating pattern in the participants, with relatively low scores, particularly in the EAT-26 and BES. This apparent discrepancy between qualitative and quantitative findings is not necessarily uncommon and has been reported in the previous studies (31) The questionnaires aimed at tracing ED symptoms might have also introduced an artificial element to the way the participants assessed their “dysfunctional” eating patterns leading them to soften their understanding of dysfunctional eating behavior The qualitative tools used in this study aimed to explore their experiences and feelings regarding their eating attitudes and body image If we consider these topics as prompts to talk about their behaviors it makes sense that the “dysfunctional eating” compartment was assessed in the participants with this approach It is possible to assume that the mixing of study designs (i.e. qualitative and quantitative) used herein enabled us to find “blind spots” which would not have been assessed using the quantitative approach alone it may be that these questionnaires use more rigorous definitions of disordered eating behaviors which may underestimate their incidence in the sample the use of qualitative approaches might be useful and complementary to questionnaires to assess the risk of developing EDs in this population concluding that dancers who are more concerned with body shape size were five times more likely to report disordered eating attitudes than their peers These data support the so-called “dancer's stereotype,” mentioned by the participants themselves in the focus groups, which is characterized by a slim and light body (34) participants mentioned differences in body satisfaction when dancers compare how they see their bodies in and out of the classical ballet context They pointed out that when they analyze their bodies in a more regular context (i.e. they consider themselves satisfied; however when analyzing themselves in the classical ballet context they would prefer their bodies to be thinner which may explain the fact that 50% of the sample showed body image dissatisfaction an issue that has also been brought up by the dancers in the focus groups when they talked about how common it was for coaches to talk about their bodies A study conducted in 2013, which evaluated 237 girls in Spain, showed that there is an indirect effect of using social media with body dissatisfaction, as current media can generate greater competitiveness and comparisons between people, which may lead to a negative body image (37) The influence of media was also raised in the focus groups and specified as a reason to begin dieting especially “low-carb” diets This factor exemplifies the dancers' lack of knowledge about nutrition which is often exploited in social media by personalities who constantly promote “miraculous diets” with impressive results that lack scientific underpinning who often lack adequate professional and nutritional support end up believing bogus claims and following radical suggestions it is worth mentioning that only a few participants underwent nutritional monitoring suggesting a low participation of skilled professionals in classical ballet Nutritional support could be extremely important in the prevention and treatment of EDs symptoms in dancers as well as helping them to improve performance and quality of life The strengths of this study include the recruitment of some experienced and professional ballet dancers who have been engaged in this sport for a long time allowing determination of chronic exposure to the “classical ballet environment” on body image and EDs the qualitative analysis allowed an in-depth investigation of behaviors related to body satisfaction and EDs The limitations include the relatively small as participants were selected from two schools only that although a sample size of 14 may be regarded as small for studies essentially composed by quantitative methods it was the qualitative component that guided our findings whereas the quantitative component was used to characterize the sample and to complement the qualitative data our data showed that the information that emerged from qualitative methods reached saturation as themes surfaced in different focus groups were quite similar indicating that the sample size was adequate for the main aim of the study although we made a strong effort to provide a welcoming and judgment-free environment the ballet dancers might not have been completely open in the completion of questionnaires and during focus groups that focus groups were characterized by the expressive participation of the participants and the discussion of a wide variety of ideas suggesting that participants did feel comfortable expressing their opinions it is possible that other factors out of the scope of the present study Future research should address these factors the constant practice of restrictive diets and other weight-loss strategies to achieve a body shape leaner than the one they considered healthy were associated with symptoms of EDs and body dissatisfaction in a sample of female ballet dancers body dissatisfaction was shown to be associated with the sport itself as the dancers did not report any sign of dissatisfaction with their bodies in the context of “normal societal standards.” Thus health professionals should consider assessing a dancer's body image (dis)satisfaction both in the general context and in the context of classical ballet and exercise caution when recommending restrictive diets to achieve a leaner body as they may lead dancers to the development of EDs the questionnaires used in the study seemed to underestimate the presence of a disordered eating pattern reported during focus groups by the participants health professionals should acknowledge that classical ballet dancers may present disordered eating behaviors before the development of EDs These data are of clinical relevance and could be used to inform psychological and nutritional strategies to improve the performance The raw data supporting the conclusions of this article will be made available by the authors The studies involving human participants were reviewed and approved by Research Ethics Committee of the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) The patients/participants provided their written informed consent to participate in this study All authors revised and approved the final version of the manuscript and are Funding for this study was provided by Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Tecnológico Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior and Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP;

It is also part of the Serra do Mar State Park, covering 332,000 hectares and the largest preservation area in the Brazilian Atlantic Moist Forests bioregion (NT14). The Brazilian Atlantic Moist Forests bioregion (NT14) located in the Brazil Cerrado & Atlantic Coast subrealm of Southern America. Over the past 60 years, the park has gone from total degradation to a place of environmental restoration. Followers of the Umbanda religion, who were looking for a natural place for the practices of their faith, took it upon themselves to recover the area. Umbanda is a mixture of Catholicism, African orixás, and local Indigenous beliefs. Strongly linked to nature, each deity represents a natural element, and contact with the environment is fundamental to its followers. “In 1960, the area was degraded due to the action of a mine, which had already been deactivated. Babalaô Ronaldo Linares, our leader, used the place to make offerings to the deity Xangô, which must be made in stone”, explains Maria Aparecida Calamari, Institutional Relations of the Umbandista Federation in the state of Sao Paulo. “But the other kingdoms were missing,” she points out. The faithful residents of Sao Paulo, a heavily urbanized economic center of Brazil, have difficulties accessing green areas. “Babalaô Ronaldo imagined that the quarry, if recovered, would be an ideal place for rituals,” says Calamari. The Umbanda leader took his idea to the city hall. After some difficulty getting authorization, officials allowed the project as the area was deteriorated. Linares and his followers voluntarily began to reforest the site. Using organic material from other parts of the Serra do Mar, they gradually recovered the soil, damaged by a hard layer of dust from the extraction of stones. Planting 30,000 native seeds, more than 645,000 square meters were reforested. Today, the park receives more than 96,000 visitors a year. The benefits quickly started to show. With the recovery of the riparian forest and siltation removal, polluted lakes and the Pedros River are now clean. SANU is a successful example of the common use of conservation areas for religious practices. There are at least 60 Sacred Natural Sites (SNS) in Brazil. SNSs are essential to some cultures, as followers believe they are endowed with a special energy. There are hallowed places to different religions in Brazil, especially Catholics, those of African origin, and the Indigenous. Érika Fernandes-Pinto has studied Brazilian SNSs for over 20 years and holds a Ph.D. in Social Ecology. She says that governments and environmental groups need to consider cultural dimensions when considering conservation strategies, and spirituality is most important. Integrating the physical, spiritual, and natural worlds is a core belief for all Brazilian Indigenous nations. Fernandes-Pinto sees this holistic cultural vision as positive. She believes that there is a movement worldwide recognizing the immaterial values of the  environment. The bonds of affection and belonging in nature can serve as a strong ally to biodiversity conservation and land preservation.

against the Olympic torch—and amusingly complained about a fifty-five-degree-Fahrenheit “chilly” winter The level of hostility between right and left has been so high and the changes in politics have happened so fast that I could hardly follow the news on protests scandals and their effects in contemporary art made in Brazil While awaiting my forthcoming trip to the country I kept track of art shows that presented Brazilian artists across the New York area numerous New York art institutions featured Brazilian-born artists they were mostly absent from large museums organized historical exhibitions with intense Brazilian presence: in 2015 MoMA featured Brazilian architecture in “Latin America in Construction” and it organized Lygia Clark’s retrospective “The Abandonment of Art.” The Guggenheim included many contemporary Brazilian artists in “Under the Same Sun,” also in 2014 But if Brazilian artists weren’t seen in large institutions they invaded art galleries and medium-size art spaces across New York The two most impressive exhibitions in which Brazilians occupied center stage were the shows “BASTA!” at the John Jay College’s gallery and landscape architect’s “Roberto Burle Marx: Brazilian Modernist,” at the Jewish Museum 43’ 39.” Still from video/Courtesy of Prometeo Gallery di Ida Pisani “BASTA!” co-curated by Brazilian-born art historian Claudia Calirman depicted in stirring contemporary artworks from all over Latin America Although for Brazilians and neighboring countries the topic needs no introduction many artworks disclosed to the American audience the contradictory dynamics between developing and developed worlds such as the documentary of the performance “Testimonio” (2012) by Guatemalan Aníbal López (1964-2014) a mercenary who López brought from Guatemala answering questions from an audience of mostly white European participants at dOCUMENTA 13 in Germany probably breaking one or two international laws “BASTA!” also featured carioca Alice Miceli’s series of photographs “In Depth (landmines)/Colombian Series” (2015) in which the artist had access to land-mine fields in Colombia taking calculated risks to capture those images Paulista Marcelo Cidade displayed his series “A___________ social” [The social ___________]” (2015)—pixelated black-and-white photographs of failed home-intrusion attempts borrowed from the Internet In Depth (landmines)/Colombian Series 1 (2015) Pigment print on Baryta paper 73.7 x 110 cm Photo by Alice Miceli/Courtesy of the artist and Galeria Nara Roesler Whereas “BASTA!” exposed contradictions ubiquitous across Latin America emphasizing multiple “realities” related to violence “Roberto Burle Marx: Brazilian Modernist,” his first major retrospective in the U.S. The exhibit occupied two rooms of the museum’s ground floor and showcased about 140 works ranging from original Burle Marx landscape designs to figurative portraits and a nearly ninety-foot-long wool tapestry which travelled from Santo André the exhibition could well have been expanded to an entire floor which would have given space for more information about the architect’s process curators succeeded in magnifying Burle Marx’s modernist ingenuity beyond his practice as a landscape designer without losing sight of his inspiring forms and visions for nature in Brazil Installation view of Roberto Burle Marx: Brazilian Modernist a puzzling video by artist Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster filmed at the Copacabana seashore pedestrian areas—one of Burle Marx’s most iconic projects—brought me down to earth It was shot during 2000’s New Year’s Eve party when thousands gather on the Copacabana beach to see one of the largest fireworks spectacles in the world Gonzalez-Foerster filmed the event from above conveying a creepy atmosphere: instead of letting viewers grasp the beauty of Rio de Janeiro and the joy of the actual celebration Funny testimonies from Burle Marx’s acquaintances are heard in the background emphasizing contradictions about life and urbanism in Rio de Janeiro The video left me wondering how it would have been to see an exhibition that investigated the paradoxical legacies of Brazilian modernism That’s How it is” (2010) and “Untitled” (2008) “Everything You Are I am Not: Latin American Contemporary Art from the Tiroche DeLeon Collection.” MANA Glass Gallery Courtesy: MANA Contemporary/Photo: John Berens and it was in a private institution that art enthusiasts could find the highest number of Brazilian artists’ works per square foot even though one had to cross the Hudson River “Everything You Are I am Not: Latin American Contemporary Art from the Tiroche DeLeon Collection,” at the huge MANA Contemporary complex in Jersey City showed mostly installation art from sixty Latin American artists Ten different “zones” divided a 50,000-square foot high-ceiling gallery in which artworks were mostly grouped by aesthetic likeness Famous pieces by fifteen Brazilians made the visit worthwhile: among them Vik Muniz’s “Pictures of Garbage” (2008-11) and two appropriated Volkswagens; one that Paulo Nazareth filled with real bananas in “Banana Market/Art Market” (2011) and the other a now legendary graffiti-styled Beetle with a huge wooden head hovering above it Other Brazilians included were Artur Lescher Installation view of the show “Human Ecology”/Photo: Adam Reich – Galeria Nara Roesler Newly opened gallery spaces added to the Brazilian invasion Emma Thomas Gallery inaugurated its space in July with the pre-opening show “Gogó da Emma,” including five Brazilian artists who referred to social unrest in the country Nara Roesler Gallery presented “Human Ecology,” which focused on a utopian Brazilian Lucia Koch displayed her series “Air Temperature” (2016) in which she digitally reproduces the colors of sunsets she has seen across the world Koch prints her sunset archive over silk curtains creating material idealizations of natural phenomena Argentinian Eduardo Navarro showed props for “Instructions from the Sky” (2016) in which performers use mirrored-discs and helmets walking outdoors: their movements are based on “instructions” they receive from clouds seen reflected on the discs Also included in the show was British Isaac Julian’s“Stones Against Diamonds (Ice Cave)” (2015) a hypnotizing portrait-format video placed over a concrete cube making reference to Italo-Brazilian architect Lina Bo Bardi’s famous glass and concrete easels created in 1968 specially for the São Paulo Museum of Art an enigmatic black woman visits stunning and deserted snowy landscapes and caves that look like in-between artificial and natural; Bo Bardi’s architecture also appears in the film perhaps alluding to a dystopian legacy of modernism “Threaded,” School of Visual Arts’ Flatiron Space/Photo: Leandro Viana Solo shows in art galleries and art residencies brought well-known and young emerging Brazilian-born artists to the forefront—and mostly women Adriana Varejão with commended “Kindred Spirits,” and Sandra Cinto with “Two Forces,” respectively at Lehman Maupin and Tanya Bonakdar galleries reaffirmed these artists’ continuous appeal to a New York audience In addition to the Burle Marx retrospective the Jewish Museum commissioned a ceiling installation by Beatriz Milhazes for its lobby Anna Bella Geiger’s and Elizabeth Jobim’s works appeared in “Imagining Spaces,” at Henrique Faria gallery Quaresma showed her clever series of mixed media photographs “Ninhos” (2015-16) in the show “Threaded” at the School of Visual Arts’ Flatiron Space; Prado installed his exquisite mirrored watchtower-trees “Measure of Dispersion” (2014-16) series at Residency Unlimited New Rochelle and “The First Days of Uqbar” (2016) at Geary Contemporary Three Brazilians had residencies in the New York area: the graffiti artist Magrela had an open studio during the entire summer and Ana Prata and Virginia de Medeiros were artists-in-residence at Residency Unlimited (RU) Virginia de Medeiros used her residency to explore the voguing community in New York for an upcoming work she screened the work “Sérgio Simone” (2007-16) at RU The three-channel video depicts the story of Simone a transgender man who de Medeiros met in 2007 bathing at the Fonte da Misericórdia—said to be a mythical fountain for orixás of Afro-Brazilian religions—and introducing other members of her poor community to the artist viewers learn that Simone reclaimed her male identity welcomed into a church community that helped him “cleanse” his “stained” past The video doesn’t represent exact timelines letting viewers make acquaintance with Sérgio and Simone “Sérgio Simone” also depicts the ephemerality of Brazilian spirituality which has recently become stage for a political battlefield fuelled by rising conservatism coming from dominant evangelical parties Seeing Brazilian art abroad offers me moments of reconciliation but it also keeps alive an instigating clash in my mind The thirty-five Brazilian artists whose works I’ve seen this summer probably helped reshape the image many Americans have of Brazil: these works exposed the fluidity of the Brazilian culture offering alternative realities to images disseminated by mass media when an American presidential nominee preaches a fenced country and right-wing intolerance spreads throughout Brazilian society that embraces diversity and in-betweenness: antidotes against pervasive “Roberto Burle Marx: Brazilian Modernist” Through September 18 the exhibition takes the canonical genre of landscape as its protagonist reimagined to highlight a pre-colonial view of nature as a site of coexistence—between human and animal It is evident that art as a form of combat against oppression was something Sérgio Ferro learned from his beloved Michelangelo Forty seminal works in several media from two decades reveal the multiple creative output of Waldemar Cordeiro (1925-1973) and Hélio Oiticica (1937-1980) Você está usando um navegador antigo e que não tem suporte a muitas de nossas funcionalidades .

Once a radical pro-worker and anti-dictatorship leader in the 1970s and 1980s, he gained a reputation as a conservative while serving as archbishop of São Paulo in the 1990s and 2000s and ended his life as a major champion of the Amazonian church. One way or another, Hummes was a central figure of Brazilian Catholicism for almost five decades. Born in a German-Brazilian family in 1934 in a small city in Rio Grande do Sul State in the southern part of Brazil, Hummes became a Franciscan friar in 1956 and was ordained a priest two years later. He obtained a PhD in Philosophy from the Pontifical Athenaeum Antonianum in Rome in 1962, and worked as a philosophy professor for several years. In 1975, he was consecrated a bishop and headed the Diocese of Santo André, in the metropolitan area of São Paulo. Along with the neighboring cities of São Bernardo do Campo, São Caetano do Sul, and Diadema, Santo André formed the so-called ABCD, the epicenter of a new wave of industrialization in Brazil that began in the 1960s, when the automotive industry was drawing hundreds of thousands of migrants from other parts of the country every year. At that time, the South American nation was ruled by a military junta, and labor unions were monitored by the police. The low salaries and long overtime hours that were common in most factories, along with the poor living conditions of most laborers, led the metal workers’ union to organize the first mass strike in several years in 1978. “Hummes had not had any previous contact with the industry workers’ reality, but he had the sensibility to understand them,” said Fernando Altemeyer Jr., a religious studies professor at the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo. Formerly a priest, Altemeyer had been in touch with Hummes since the 1980s and was his spokesperson in the Archdiocese of São Paulo for four years. During a second strike in 1979, when almost 200,000 workers joined the movement, the military regime took control of the unions. Hummes decided to open the diocese’s parishes to the union leaders’ activities. He also organized relief aid for the workers’ families using parish structures, and attended massive union rallies. The major union leader of that time – and later president of Brazil –  Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva released a statement lamenting Hummes’ death, recalling that he “challenged the dictatorship by opening the doors of the Diocese of Santo André to the workers, protecting them from repression.” “Archbishop Cláudio Hummes never distanced himself from Christ’s teachings. His unconditional love for the people has always led him to be near the poor, even in the most adverse circumstances,” Lula da Silva said. Altemeyer recalled that during a meeting with heads of the ABCD companies – many of them were international organizations like Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen – one told Hummes that he should mediate the discussion between workers and companies. “[Hummes] answered that he could not be on the fence in a dispute between businessmen and the oppressed,” he told Crux. In 1996, Hummes was appointed as the Archbishop of Fortaleza, and two years later he replaced Cardinal Paulo Evaristo Arns – one of the major opponents of the military regime and a famously progressive member of the hierarchy – as Archbishop of São Paulo. There, his work would not resemble his radical years in Santo André. “The Holy See asked him to ‘correct’ the way Arns directed the Archdiocese, reducing its political perspective. He fulfilled such a task,” Altemeyer said. Bishop Mauro Morelli, bishop emeritus of Duque de Caxias and formerly an auxiliary bishop of São Paulo, also said that Hummes, at that point, took a different direction. “We tried to motivate him to take part in a project to transform the Archdiocese of São Paulo in nine autonomous dioceses. But history followed its route and distanced us more and more: I kept looking for the peripheries, and he was going to the center of the ecclesiastical power,” Morelli, who had co-celebrated Hummes’ episcopal ordination, told Crux. But not everything had changed. When Morelli, a longtime human rights advocate and a progressive bishop who had difficult relations with Rome, suffered a car accident in 2003, Hummes visited him. “After thinking about resigning, I asked him about the possibility of being his auxiliary bishop. He told me that I would be invited to live in the archdiocese and that I would never need to ask anybody’s permission to conduct a work dedicated to basic human rights,” he recalled. “The presence of a brother in a moment of great suffering becomes a mark in our memory,” the bishop added. In 2006, when Pope Benedict XVI appointed Hummes as the prefect of the Congregation for the Clergy, he gave an interview to a Brazilian newspaper noting that celibacy was not a matter of dogma but a disciplinary norm and that it was possible to discuss the ordination of married men. His statement sparked some controversy in different Catholic circles, and he later had to clarify that the subject was not on the church’s agenda. He returned to Brazil in 2010 and one year later he became the president of the bishops’ conference’s Amazon’s Episcopal Commission, entering the final phase of his ministry. “He became the most important defender of the Amazon, a giant – that same giant that we had seen in Santo André,” said Altemeyer. In his new position, he would travel all over the rainforest. “He visited more than 30 dioceses in the Brazilian Amazon and went to almost all the countries of the Pan-Amazon region,” said Sister Maria Irene Lopes, executive director of the Pan-Amazon Ecclesial Network, who traveled with him on several occasions. “Those were not smooth trips. Many times, we would ride old trucks on dirt roads and spend the night at a simple house. He never complained about anything. He was always happy,” Lopes recalled. Hummes continually emphasized the need to listen to the Amazonian peoples – Indigenous groups, small farmers, and members of quilombola communities (formed by slaves who fled captivity when slavery was legal in Brazil, from 1500-1888). “He helped us to rethink the Amazonian church from the peripheries. When he visited the Amazon, he was always with the people. He would sit with Indigenous groups and eat with them,” she said. In May of 2019, Hummes was appointed as the general rapporteur of the Vatican’s Synod for the Pan-Amazon region. During the preparation, he raised several controversial topics, including the need to build a local church “with an Amazonian face and also an Indigenous face” instead of “a European church transplanted in the Amazon.” Lopes – and many others – saw Hummes as a bridge between the Amazon and the Vatican. Many times, she said, “he would tell the people that ‘Pope Francis told me to say to you this or that’, so we felt that the whole church was paying attention to the region.” That closeness between the cardinal and the Argentinian pontiff was manifested on different occasions, especially during the 2013 conclave. Once deemed a strong candidate for papacy, Hummes is said to have contributed to Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s election. The pope himself told the press after the conclave that he chose the name Francis after Hummes told him “not to forget the poor.” In June of 2020, Hummes was chosen to head the recently created Ecclesial Conference of the Amazon. He left his position at the end of March due to his deteriorating health. “He was a man of God. He always had the right word at the right time,” Lopes said.

Champion had his last fight in November 2011 in the MMA contra a dengue event in Rio de Janeiro Jair Bolsonaro declared Brazil had reached ‘the tail end’ of one of the world’s worst outbreaks Three months later the country has lost almost 100,000 more lives It was midway through February when André Machado realized Brazil’s coronavirus catastrophe was racing into a bewildering and remorseless new phase. “The floodgates opened and the water came gushing out,” recalled the infectious disease specialist from the Our Lady of the Conception hospital in Porto Alegre, one of the largest cities in southern Brazil. like health centres up and down the country gasping patients – many of them previously healthy and bafflingly young Among the recent admissions was a heavily pregnant 37-year-old who was brought in complaining of breathing difficulties and a cough Doctors performed an emergency C-section to deliver the baby in a desperate bid to take the pressure off the expectant mother’s Covid-racked lungs “We’re trying to help people but this disease is much faster and more aggressive than the tactics we’ve been using,” Machado said of his team’s efforts to keep pace with a tripling of admissions “It’s like we’re flogging a dead horse,” he said, before adding: “This disease is going to kill many more people in Brazil.” At the end of last year Brazil’s president, Jair Bolsonaro – a Donald Trump-worshiping populist who has gleefully sabotaged Covid containment efforts – declared his country had reached “the tail end” of what was already one of the world’s worst outbreaks Three months later Latin America’s largest nation has lost almost 100,000 more lives – taking its total death toll to more than 275,000 second only to the US – and been plunged into the deadliest chapter of its 13-month epidemic “This country is in a state of utter tumult and confusion because there’s no government I’ll repeat that: this country has no government,” Lula declared blaming Bolsonaro’s “uncivilised” leadership and rejection of science for the scale of Brazil’s disaster so many lives could have been saved,” Lula claimed warning: “Covid is taking over the country.” frontline health workers from Porto Alegre to Recife despair and exhaustion as intensive care units and cemeteries fill up like never before Workers bury a person who died with Covid in Manaus Photograph: Raphael Alves/EPA“It feels like we’re putting a Band-Aid on a bullet wound,” said Eduarda Santa Rosa Barata a 31-year-old infectologist who works in three ICUs in the north-eastern capital of Pernambuco state “We’re engaged in damage reduction … You open new beds and they fill up immediately.” Barata had admitted a 37-year-old man who had no underlying medical conditions but whose lungs were so badly damaged he needed intubation But the doctor suspected a third, more troubling element was also at work: an enigmatic and apparently more contagious variant called P1 that is thought to have emerged in the Amazon region in late 2020 but is now circulating across Brazil including in the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul People walk in a shopping center in São Paulo Photograph: Cris Faga/NurPhoto/Rex/Shutterstock“This isn’t just theoretical It’s something we’re seeing in practice,” Machado said of the variant at least 10 cases of which have been detected in the UK and 15 in the US you’d get a family and one member would be infected but not the other three or four members even though they lived in the same environment everyone ends up getting infected by the virus,” he said “It’s obvious that this new variant is now circulating among us.” Just how much of Brazil’s current crisis is down to the new variant or other variants traced to the UK and South Africa Some experts believe the variant has provided a convenient smokescreen for political leaders who have failed to rein in a disease President Bolsonaro has dismissed as a “little flu” As he ordered a two-week emergency shutdown in Brazil’s most populous state on Thursday claimed the variant played a key role in pushing hospitals to the brink “This new strain of the virus is very aggressive and very dangerous,” Doria warned claiming Brazil was “collapsing” under the weight of the surge in cases an epidemiologist from the Amazon city of Manaus where hospitals recently ran out of oxygen as a result of the explosion of infections was unconvinced mutations were the main culprit it’s much easier to place the blame on the variant But we all know that the worst variant of all is the way the epidemic has been mishandled,” he said Orellana suspected that having failed to halt coronavirus with unpopular and economically painful lockdowns politicians at all levels of government were now “using the variant as a crutch to prop themselves up and to justify their mistakes and their negligence over the epidemic” “Here in the hospital we’ve got a 20-year-old woman in our ICU in serious condition. Today you have serious patients in ICU from all age groups. Before we’d say it was almost 90% elderly. Today they’re still the majority, but not in same way,” Boulos added. “We don’t yet know how this works, but it’s what we are seeing … There’s no other reason why young people would suddenly start suffering from a more serious disease.” São Paulo’s health secretary, Jean Gorinchteyn, this week told reporters that in many of that state’s ICUs half of patients were now under 50. “I’m talking about 26 and 29 and 30-year-olds – often in a very grave condition,” he said, urging citizens to avoid crowds and remain at home. “We all need to understand that what is happening right now is a different pandemic from the one we saw last year,” Gorinchteyn claimed.

Globe Media Internship Program Co-op Program Do Not Sell My Personal Information UFABC celebrates its 10th anniversary, with 15,000 students and a consistent research history Leo Ramos UFABC campus in Santo André: 26 undergraduate courses and 24 graduate study programsLeo Ramos An experience unique among Brazilian public universities is completing a decade of existence with solid scientific and academic indicators the Federal University of the ABC (UFABC) began accepting students at a temporary campus in the city of Santo André All of them were enrolled in the same program of studies leading to a bachelor’s degree in science and technology and attended classes given by 80 professors who were associated but with three interdisciplinary centers: Natural and Human Sciences; Mathematics UFABC serves 15,000 students who frequent two campuses covering an area of more than 110,000 square meters (m2) in the cities of Santo André and São Bernardo do Campo and offers 26 different undergraduate courses of study The gateway consists of two interdisciplinary bachelor’s degree programs in science and technology and in sciences and humanities students can choose from among 24 courses of study The institution’s 24 graduate school programs have already generated more than a thousand theses and dissertations All 660 professors at UFABC hold doctoral degrees a situation unusual at recently-established federal universities Most of them are young—the average age is under 40 An effort was made to attract researchers from abroad to join the faculty of the institution—now 12% of its professors are foreigners Students at the UFABC who aspire to a teaching career take competitive exams in English a language that can also be useful in graduate and post-graduate courses was born in Germany but settled in Brazil in 1997 “We have taken steps to encourage research at the university Even researchers as well qualified and highly motivated as most of the teaching staff of UFABC need some incentive,” says Capelle who before taking command of the university in 2014 spent four years as dean of research He was referring to internal funding opportunity announcements to support research projects undertaken by newly-minted PhDs and incentives in the field of undergraduate research that even included study grants to freshmen under a program dubbed “Research Begins on Day One” (PDPD) Scientific production is still modest when compared with that of Brazil’s more established research universities according to figures from the Lattes Platform the 660 members of the UFABC faculty published 683 articles in journals an achievement far below that of the University of Campinas (Unicamp) which has just celebrated its 50th anniversary and whose 2,400 faculty members published slightly more than 4,000 articles in 2015 But UFABC has gained distinction in some international indicators of quality One example was the 2015 edition of the Scimago international ranking which listed 179 Brazilian institutions that had published 100 or more scientific articles indexed in the Scopus database between 2009 and 2013 UFABC ranks as Brazil’s best on issues such as high-quality publications which measures the proportion of articles by an institution that appeared in the world’s most prestigious scientific journals listed the universities that had published the most scientific articles from 2003 to 2012 and ranked UFABC first in Brazil in terms of international collaboration the ranking by Times Higher Education listed UFABC as the 18th best university in Latin America Leo Ramos Electronic scanning microscope at the Multi-user Experiment Center at UFABCLeo Ramos Leo Ramos Advanced X-Ray diffraction system used by university researchersLeo Ramos The creation of UFABC was backed in its early years by a continuous flow of federal funds through the Ministry of Education as well as from development and funding agencies like the Brazilian Innovation Agency (FINEP) The university is now suffering from budget restrictions that raise questions about its ability to keep growing at the same pace as in its first decade “The university spent its infancy within an ideal environment but its adolescence is influenced by the financial crisis which hit before the project had fully taken shape,” says Chancellor Klaus Capelle Several programs have lost funding—the current number of PDPD grants in undergraduate research is 120 It is likely that this will delay planned expansions of the campuses—for example the plan to erect new buildings on the Santo André campus on the other side of the Tamanduateí River and to connect the two areas [tracts] with a walkway over the river and the adjacent circumferential highway the Graduate Program in Nanoscience and Advanced Materials received a grade of 5 on the scale of 3 to 7 adopted by the Brazilian Federal Agency for the Support and Evaluation of Graduate Education (Capes) This performance was enthusiastically celebrated since nascent programs usually start with lower grades But the grade fell to 4 in the most recent assessment “Capes assessors believed that authorship of our scientific publications is overly concentrated among faculty members and that we should involve students to a greater extent,” says Fábio Furlan Ferreira “Several actions have been taken since announcement of the evaluation mainly intended to achieve a more vigorous mobilization of the student community in writing for the high-quality publications that are a trademark of our program.” The young system of
