Open House 2022

OPEN HOUSE 2022

We, birds

 

Condô reopens in December to celebrate life

 

After three years without a major public event, the Condô Cultural announces Open House to celebrate joy, nature and freedom with a full day of activities

 

 

 

Poem from Against - Mario Quintana  

 

All those who are there

Standing in my way,

They will...

Me little bird!

 

 

 

On the day December 11, 2022 (Sunday), we open our doors to the public with an intense program of artistic, social and environmental activities for all ages. The event will take place from 9am to 9pm and is completely free, with suggestions for contributions.

The Cultural Association's headquarters, which serves as a center of conviviality and dialog, with artists' studios and cultural experiences, was closed for major creative actions for three years due to the pandemic. After this period of deep mourning and political struggles on behalf of culture, education and the environment, the house reopens in an atmosphere of celebration and hope with the theme "We, birds". When thinking about what this year's Open House should express, a common feeling was quickly mapped out among the people associated with Condô. "We wanted something that represented the strength of hope, of kindness, of the collective, the strength of the struggle we've been waging in recent years in Brazil," says Géssica Arjona, director of Condô Cultural. From this conversation came "Nós, pássinho", symbolizing the playful force of life and nature in the face of the harsh rules dictated by a society sickened by the economic system.

During the event, nine of Condô's fifteen studios will be open for visitors, as well as the common spaces and the vast backyard. The program will include an exhibition, Eutonia sessions, Café Caipira, environmental activities for children, a clown show, a live concert and film screenings, among other activities. 

 

 

 

 

9am to 10am - Tai Chi (TaiChi PaiLin)

An ancient practice
Slow, circular
Back to natural
To life
Heaven descends,
The Earth rises
Serene mind
The nerves of the whole body relax
Internal force arises
Healing
Sprouting
Springtime energy!

Tânia Murakami

10am to 1pm - Hypnosis

What do you feel when you hear about hypnosis?
If there's a chill in your stomach followed by a "Wow!", it's all right: you know what it's about.
On the other hand, if fear, indifference, worry or anything else comes up, we invite you to discuss it with us. Alexandre Roit. Let's get this straight!
