On October 5, Brazilians will head to the polls to vote in one of the most interesting presidential elections in recent Brazilian history. In the wake of the World Cup, last year's widespread social protests, and the sudden, tragic death of PSB candidate Eduardo Campos, the election, it seems, is anyone's to win. Join us as we discuss the elections and expected outcomes and launch our latest report, which explores what each candidate's victory could mean for Brazil's foreign policy and place in a changing world order.
Charcoal production, Brazil. Parents do not have anyone to watch their little ones and carry them to the work place. Sometimes, they play around the piles of wood and it is already bad enough because of the air they breathe. Little particles of charcoal could get in their lungs causing serious respiratory diseases.

Ā”VAMOS! UK Premiere: Manoel QuitĆ©rio
Photos by Anna Miller - @annamiller_art
Building on our successful first Street Art commission with āDerlon' (at the Biscuit Box) in 2013, Ā”VAMOS! commissioned in November 2014 a new permanently sited artwork in central Newcastle, on the side of the āDuke of Wellingtonā pub on Highbridge with rising Brazilian artist Manoel QuitĆ©rio.
Manoel has exhibited extensively throughout Latin America and wider Europe yet we are very excited that this street art commission will be a UK premiere.
Manoelās work is utterly distinctive and full of subtlety. An opening will take place on Thursday 13 November from 7pm.
A few words from Manoel,
"I regard my work as a reflection about man and his objects of cult. About how our adoration is just a matter of worshiping ourselves and how psyche creates gods in his image and likeness.
The firm stroke of acrylic on wood projects scenarios formed of the inexact line between what is a dream and what is not. Itās looking at their temples, figuratively or not, recognising solid idols, made of human rib. It is Narkissos leaning into a mirror made of glass of insecurities and ego.
Mixing Mexican muralism, folk art from Brazilās countryside, low brow and pop surrealism, I dedicate myself to rant about fragility of beliefs, even if absolute. And how this facsimile God, made of soul slurry and mask dust, once in a while capriciously pretends to take the reins. And he is always recreating the world in ever shorter seven days.ā

O Teatro Amazonas Ć© um dos mais importantes teatros brasileiros, foi construĆdo com verba do ciclo da borracha.
A histĆ³ria do inicia-se em 1881, quando o deputado A. J. Fernandes JĆŗnior apresentou o projeto para a construĆ§Ć£o de um teatro em alvenaria, na cidade de Manaus. A proposta foi aprovada pela AssemblĆ©ia Provincial do Amazonas e comeƧaram as discussƵes a respeito da construĆ§Ć£o do prĆ©dio. Manaus, que vivia o auge do ciclo da borracha, era uma das mais prĆ³speras cidades do mundo, embalada pela riqueza advinda do lĆ”tex da seringueira, produto altamente valorizado pelas indĆŗstrias europĆ©ias e americanas. A cidade necessitava de um lugar onde pudessem se apresentar as companhias de espetĆ”culos estrangeiras e a construĆ§Ć£o do teatro, assim, era uma exigĆŖncia da Ć©poca.
O projeto arquitetĆ“nico escolhido foi o de autoria do Gabinete PortuguĆŖs de Engenharia e Architetura de Lisboa, em 1883. No entanto, em meio Ć s discussƵes a respeito do local para a edificaĆ§Ć£o e os custos da obra, a pedra fundamental sĆ³ foi lanƧada em 1884. As obras transcorreram de forma lenta e somente no governo de Eduardo Ribeiro, no apogeu do ciclo da borracha, a construĆ§Ć£o tomou impulso. Foram trazidos arquitetos, construtores, pintores e escultores da Europa para a realizaĆ§Ć£o da obra. A decoraĆ§Ć£o interna ficou ao encargo de Crispim do Amaral, com exceĆ§Ć£o do salĆ£o nobre, Ć”rea mais luxuosa do prĆ©dio, entregue ao artista italiano Domenico de Angelis. A sala de espetĆ”culos do teatro tem capacidade para 701 pessoas, distribuĆdas entre a platĆ©ia e os trĆŖs andares de camarotes.
No salĆ£o nobre, com caracterĆsticas barrocas, destaca-se a pintura do teto, denominada "A GlorificaĆ§Ć£o das Bellas Artes na AmazĆ“nia", de 1899, de autoria de Domenico de Angelis. Destacam-se os ornamentos sobre as colunas do pavimento tĆ©rreo, com mĆ”scaras em homenagem a dramaturgos e compositores clĆ”ssicos famosos, como Ćsquilo, AristĆ³phane, MoliĆ©re, Rossini, Mozart, Verdi, Chopin e outros. Sobre o teto abobadado estĆ£o afixadas quatro telas pintadas em Paris pela Casa Carpezot - a mais tradicional da Ć©poca -, onde sĆ£o retratadas alegorias Ć mĆŗsica, danƧa, tragĆ©dia e uma homenagem ao grande compositor brasileiro Carlos Gomes. Do centro, pende um lustre dourado com cristais, importado de Veneza, que desce atĆ© ao nĆvel das cadeiras para a realizaĆ§Ć£o de sua manutenĆ§Ć£o e limpeza.
Destaca-se, ainda na sala de espetĆ”culos, a pintura do pano de boca do palco, de autoria de Crispim do Amaral, que faz referĆŖncia ao encontro das Ć”guas dos rios Negro e SolimƵes. O teatro possui diversos ambientes, concebidos com diferentes materiais, daĆ ser considerado um espaƧo sobremaneira eclĆ©tico. Ć, sem dĆŗvida, o mais importante prĆ©dio da cidade, nĆ£o somente pelo seu inestimĆ”vel valor arquitetĆ“nico, mas principalmente pela sua importĆ¢ncia histĆ³rica, uma prova viva da prosperidade e riqueza vividos na fase Ć”urea da borracha. O teatro Ć© referĆŖncia para espetĆ”culos regionais, nacionais e internacionais. JĆ” passaram pelo palco do Teatro Amazonas:
