Brasília 65: Monumental Messages (working title) is a project that presents the Brasília Collection by artist Júlia do Santos Baptista, in dialogue with artworks created by public school students during art workshops led by the artist herself. The project promotes heritage education and highlights art as an essential tool for learning and cultural expression.
Since 2005, when the circulation of the collection and the workshops first began, approximately 8,000 students have been impacted, fostering artistic creation, critical thinking, and the strengthening of cultural identity among children and youth. The initiative builds a bridge between schools and museums, placing students at the center of the creative process and reinforcing their sense of cultural belonging.
In this edition, the project aims to broaden its reach, further promoting inclusion and democratizing access to art. The exhibition will take place in Brasília, at the National Museum of the Republic, from october 24 till november 23 of 2025.
