The Armorial Movement, which emerged in Recife in the 1970s, solidified the image we have of the Northeast today. Led by playwright Ariano Suassuna, it brought together artists and intellectuals from various fields, such as music, visual arts, theater, dance, and literature. What united them was the desire to create erudite art rooted in Brazilian roots, with the pamphlet of cordel literature as its main axis. The Armorial Echoes exhibition brings together several active artists and designers who, 50 years later, keep the armorial flame alive by combining ancestral elements of Northeastern culture with contemporary language, creating poetics that dialogue with each other and form a current panorama of the Northeast – a region that is plural, lively, and respectful of its traditions.
