Ai's claim that “art is the only way to save humanity from authoritarian and other [kinds] of technical bureaucracy” is being put to the test. In a political landscape that may appear overwhelming, it's paramount that artists face the world -- not shy away from it.

Um oásis chamado Instituto Sacatar: residência artística mais antiga do Brasil, na Ilha de Itaparica, já recebeu 500 nomes de 70 países
Com atmosfera “mole e lenta”, como descreveu João Ubaldo Ribeiro, filho mais ilustre daquele pedaço de terra cercado de águas calmas e cristalinas por todos os lados, território inspira trabalhos de artistas de vários cantos do Planeta e estabelece ponte entre a Bahia e o mundo: 'Não é a pessoa que escolhe a ilha, é a ilha que escolhe a pessoa', diz pesquisador A barca Dandara dos Palmares desliza pela Baía de Todos os Santos rumo à Ilha de Itaparica, a 23 quilômetros de Salvador pelo mar. O trajeto serve como portal que prepara a alma dessa sortuda abençoada que está prestes a adentrar uma atmosfera idílica, “mole e lenta”, como descreveu João Ubaldo Ribeiro, filho ilustre daquele pedaço de terra cercado de águas calmas e cristalinas por todos os lados. Pois o mesmo território que serviu de inspiração para muitas obras do escritor, tem atravessado a criação de artistas de vários cantos do mundo. Matéria exclusiva para assinantes.
