As you certainly know, the Snowmen Congress (
http://arteonline.arq.br/congress/ ) finished last Wednesday. It was really
a hard work to organize the congress and to care of snowpeopple. They were
always saying: -What a heat, I am going to melt!!! But all this work was
rewarded by the wonderful lectures and performances we had. I have to thank
a lot to Lord Gypsy that came with the Rolidei Caravan from Brazil North
East ( http://arteonline.arq.br/congress/byebye.html ) and made to snow
here. The stage was built on Ipanema Beach (
http://arteonline.arq.br/congress/palco.html ) and, at night, there was
many, many people there watching the lectures and performances by
snowpeople. It was really a great success!

In his classic work Raizes do Brasil (Roots of Brazil), historian Sergio
Buarque de Holanda writes that the Brazilian experience is unique: we
constitute a unique, vast and effective effort to transplant European
culture in a tropical and sub-tropical region. As a result of our process of
civilization, our culture has always valued foreigners, and our art-both
tropicalist and anthropophagic-habitually values and devours everything that
comes from abroad, recycling it and returning it to the circuit with our own
distinctive timber.

5) - Samba Trash (Performance) - http://arteonline.arq.br/congress/she.html
