Mirla Fernandes added a discussion to the group Brazil: an inside view1982/2010
In the very first days of 2011, Brazil has changed its presidency. I am not a person qualified to judge this last government in terms of its political and economical achievements, but one thing in it was very disturbing and I would like to comment here. We've been governed for long eight years by a person that was proud to have had no education. Our last president did not have a university degree and was proud of it.This was really a bad example for the whole population considering our average…See More

- Mirla, I so wished I could go. But I live 9 hours away from NYC and that is just too much to travel. My buddy Sarah Abramson (also on crafthaus) might go though, she is one of the MAD's resident artists and they just acquired one of her brooches for their permanent collection!
I wish you the best for the opening, I know it is going to be GREAT. My consolation is that recently, the Center for Contemporary Craft in Pittsburgh had a Latin American Craft show and I saw that Plantain necklace there, and a few other really wonderful pieces :-) Enjoy NYC.
