The particularities of contemporary artistic production from the geopolitical South of the world inspire the Southern Panoramas Seminar, the main activity in the Educational Curatorial Program developed for the 17th International Contemporary Art Festival SESC_Videobrasil. The series of meetings, that will bring together artists, curators and critics from different regions of he world, aims to explore the potency and singularity of this circuit, marked by discontinuity and born out of contexts in which political, social and cultural tensions tend to constantly alter and rearticulate symbolic forms and the way in which information and images circulate.

Plein-air painting became popular in the 19th century, first used by the Impressionist painters when paint was available in tube form and artists were able to take their canvases and easels outside. Painting their surrounding environment, artists were able to step out into the fresh air and be inspired by Mother Nature. This exhibition of contemporary Plein Air painting will be an amazing display of light and landscape that is sure to awaken the senses
