Mediation
Mediation
The Fundação Bienal de São Paulo offers various types of free guided tours and assistance to visitors to the exhibition.
The visit involves the work of the mediation team, who, together with the visitors, build a conversation based on the works in the exhibition, cultivating a relationship of exchange of knowledge and perceptions. The work takes place inside the Pavilion, in the exhibition, in the presence of the works.
Inclusive, with a wide range of timetables, the mediated visits can be scheduled or spontaneous.
To further expand this audience, the Bienal develops programs in partnership with the Secretaries of Education and other cultural and educational institutions.
What do we offer?
- online scheduling
- assistance in English, Spanish, Portuguese and Brazilian Sign Language
- flexible visiting times
- four exclusive spaces to serve the public
