My talk “Brazilian modernist photography and the global photo-club culture of the 1950s and 1960s” at the Almeida e Dale gallery (São Paulo, Brazil) was part of the programming related to the virtual exhibition, “Men at Work. The city that never sleeps, in the Foto Cine Clube Bandeirante imaginary” (Homens Trabalhando. A cidade que não para, no imaginário do Foto Cine Clube Bandeirante), curated by Iatã Cannabrava.
