LEDA MARIA, CURATOR
This project happenead beyond artistic creation and interpretation. It faced the embrace and challenges expected in a project of this magnitude. However, it proved that with union, strength, courage and an unyielding spirit it is possible to surpass the most challenging trials. With this spirit, one can reach tangible and transforming results that make noble while giving a higher value and richness to the international cultural interchange. In conclusion, this catalog is the fruit of the beginning of this project's journey. It brings you a short overview of one piece from each artist involved in the Show de Bola Project of 2014. We added enough information about each artist for those who would like to learn more about them. As Marcos Barreto Corrêa says in his book “From Marketing to Cultural Development”: Culture is the element that guarantees all, creators, artists and audiences, the right to celebrate their identity, sensibility and emotion, developing at once, a critical spirit, imagination, and a sense of the collective in a process of conscientization, socialization and social transformation. We are certain that this catalog will become a celebratory toast to the arts, and to all Visual Arts lovers who come across this work. Leda Maria do Prado Creator and Curator of Show de Bola
