The 2nd invitation

With the invitation to create an exhibition in the museum itself, it made sense not to just reflect on the visual suggestions for the design of the Antônio Conselheiro monument. Repetitions are boring.

When the artist was confronted with the old building and asked to change or contribute something artistically, he did not want to change anything out of respect for the age of the components such as the tiled floor.

A phase of perception finally ensued. It was surprising that the well-known architect and songwriter Fausto Nilo was born in this house.
It later became clear that he wanted to give the birthplace of Quixeramobim historical and cultural impulses by highlighting the importance of this house of Antônio Conselheiro.

Observation and transformation

Antônio Conselheiro went forward! He walked. He encountered other horizons. He saw more. The path opens up space for reflection, prayer and understanding.
Walking from station to station must have a deep meaning, a creative value.

What value can the artist add to this ?

The museum goes on the street

The consistent transfer of the characteristics of Antônio Conselheiro's way of life demands art.

The expanded content of the monument now leads to the expanded task of the museum:

D Art must start walking. In between is the valuable space for reflection, not for distracting consumption.

Therefore, a network of paths should be created in the city to visit one inter-CACTUS after another.

This network of cactuses invites everyone
to get to know the city,
to create a connection between history and the present..
The museum will be made known as an attraction everywhere.

Questions for the population

What questions did the artist ask the discussion group of historians at the 1st exhibition in the Antônio Conselheiro monument in 2010 ?

1. What is the difficulty of researching history in a neutral way? On the difficulty of acquiring general knowledge, using Antônio Conselheiro as an example.
2. Why it is worth identifying as a citizen of Antônio Conselheiro ?
3. Information about history and the strategies to make it a reality in Quixeramobim today (historical example of use between book + content for the future)
4. How can the city benefit from this cultural treasure ?
