Marginália - Terremoto magazine
2017, Junho. Ocupação virtual pelo MCEP nas mídias socias da revista mexicana Terremoto.
For Marginalia #25, MCEP edits a sequence of images from the materials of its archives. Rescuing part of the memory of Brazilian education throughout the 20th century, the presented frames were extracted from the so-called diafilmes.
After being invited to participate in the project Marginalia #25 from the online Mexican magazine Terremeto, the artist Maura Grimaldi proposed the participation of the Micro Center for Studies in Projections. At the time a sequence of images was planned, which would be published daily for a month, on the magazine's digital platforms.
For that, the MCEP made use of the diafilmes- 135mm positive films used in schools - created by the Instituto Nacional de Cinema Educativo – INCE (National Institute of Educational Cinema. Among the numerous thematic titles and images, those that were referred to the idea of projection were selected and could establish a dialogue and a sequence when viewed together.
