Hola (Olá),  Timothy,

Thank you so much for your feedback.  "Paris - Rio de Janeiro Gallery'  is
one of my best works, but people do not comment it often. You really
understood what I am developing. However it is a work which gives me much
pleasure while creating and shows almost perfectely our main characteristcs:
Antropophagy and Tropicalism. It speaks about borders too.

About my contributions to the list I am trying to do my best. I think it is
a way of retribute the kindeness of Empyre team and the  friendship of Jim
Andrews. It is an opportunity to show my beloved country to all of you.
However it  is necessary to say that I am speaking in a general way and much
more about Rio de Janeiro. Brazil is almost a continent, we have different
aspects from one region to another. If you browser Poetic Cartographies, for
example: http://www.iis.com.br/~regvampi/noronha/ . You will see some
aspects of  Brazilian northeast, which is a very poor region, because of the
lack of rain. However,  the creativity there is amazing and the music/songs:
"Forró"  is completely happy.  Gilberto Gil, the actual minister of culture,
one of the creators of Tropicalism sings very often songs of this region.
(ALe can speak about music much more better than me.)

About Spanish America, I only told something about Magic Realism. Portuguese
America and Spanish America are very differents. I have not enough
knowledge to speak about Spanish America. Perhaps Clemente Padín could do
this.

Best wishes,

Regina

>Hola, Regina,

I've been meaning to thank you for your inspirational contributions
to the list. The Paris-Rio Gallery gives a new meaning to
cross-border art through the visual means by which your viewers
traverse the space and fantasy of Paris-Rio.  Fantastic.

All my best,

Tim
