A Gentil Carioca is an art space located in the historical center of downtown Rio de Janeiro. More specifically in the region called S.a.a.r.a., a place known for being the largest outdoor market in Latin America, founded last century by Arab and Jewish descendants and immigrants.
Opened on September 6, 2003 and directed by artists Laura Lima, Márcio Botner, and Ernesto Neto, A Gentil Carioca was conceived already in a melting pot with a view to capturing and disseminating artistic diversity in Brazil and the world. It believes each work of art to be a cultural particle with the potency to illuminate culture and education. In the same way, history can be thought, forged, documented, and changed. A Gentil Carioca is a place where artistic or political contexts can be revitalized. Its physical approach supersedes concentration and voice, appealing to different kinds of artists and thought processes.
