3 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

Since the declaration of the world's first Modern Art Week in São Paulo in 1922, Brazilian artists and creative leaders have self-consciously positioned themselves in the cultural vanguard. This course explores Brazilian cultural movements and manifestations including modernism, neo-concretism, bossa nova, tropicalism, desbunde, and more, in literature, painting, film, sculpture, graffiti, comics and other media. This is a designated CAS CURE (Course-based Undergraduate Research Experience Class).
