The exhibition
Roberto Monte- Mór’s photos of the Brazilian Amazon in the 1980s will subsequently form part of an exhibition organised by Dr Olivia Casagrande (School of Geography and Planning), Junia Mortimer and Beth Perry called Urban Dreams/Future Cities which will take place in the Wave, University of Sheffield from 18 th May to 11 th June.
The exhibition brings Roberto’s photography, curated by Junia, together with the works of Mapuche artists of the Epew Collective, with whom Olivia has been working as part of her ESRC project Set in Stone. A zine, Cut and Collage, produced by Gabs Leal at the University of Lisbon, has also been produced, which intends to provoke thought on alternative ways of seeing and knowing the city. You can come and see the exhibition during opening times (week days only) from 18 May to 11 June 2026.
