The crossings in partnership between the 13th BIA and the exhibition Daido Moriyama: a retrospective, organized by Instituto Moreira Salles, aim to promote approximations between the photography made by Moriyama and the look at the city of São Paulo. The walk begins on Avenida Paulista, where the exhibition is on display, provoking a look at the city through photography, inspired by Moriyama’s conceptual thinking. Along the following route, participants are invited to learn about the history of the place and to create their own images.The itinerary, organized by the Cartografia Negra collective, passes through places in the center of São Paulo that relate to memories of African peoples in diaspora, during the 18th and 19th centuries.
