Instituto Moreira Salles Employee Directory

It holds important assets in four areas: photography, with the bulk of material, as well as music, literature, and iconography. It is also renowned for its exhibitions, highlighting visual arts by artists from Brazil and abroad. The activities are supported by a donation initially provided by Unibanco and later added to by the Moreira Salles family... . With cultural centers in three cities - Poços de Caldas, in the southeast of the state of Minas Gerais, where the Instituto was born 20 years ago; Rio de Janeiro; and São Paulo -, IMS releases exhibition catalogues, books of photography, literature, and music, in addition to the print magazines ZUM, dedicated to contemporary photography in Brazil and around the world, and serrote, a quarterly publication of essays and ideas. Gathering, organizing, and disseminating knowledge since its foundation, the IMS now also hopes that its collections may be used to produce knowledge. To this end, it has sought to establish partnerships and exchange programs with universities in Brazil and abroad, as well as other museums. Research is the target from here on out. Memory is in almost everything we do, and serving as a guardian of the past is one of the noblest missions imaginable. The institute guards the past so that it might not become stagnant, but also because it is crucial to understanding the present and facing the future. In the highest instinct of its history, it seeks to build cultural legacies. And the IMS remains dedicated to this mission. Flávio Pinheiro | Executive SuperintendentRead More
