The festival hubs
“For better understanding,
the city was divided into hubs , considering the potential of each area . For example, the Alto da Boa Vista Hub is the stage for activities related to art and culture,” explains Carmem. Part of the
hub ’s program is a visit to the Chapel of São Pedro Apóstolo, designed by
Paulo Mendes da Rocha and located in the Boa Vista Palace, the official winter residence of the Government of São Paulo, with works by Tarsila do Amaral, Anita Malfatti, Cândido Portinari, Di Cavalcanti, Victor Brecheret, Alfredo Volpi, among others. The
hub also offers a guided tour of the Cláudio Santoro Auditorium, the stage for the most important classical music festival in Latin America, and the open-air exhibition at the Felícia Leirner Museum.
