Historical and cultural context

Municipal training, research and memory center dedicated to Carnival and popular culture manifestations. Meu Recife places the site within the editorial thread “Recife · Pátio · São · Pedro · culture · popular culture”. This reading first establishes the documented cultural role, then keeps it separate from mutable hours, admission and exhibition programming.

03

Relationship with the city and district

Carnival House is in São José, Recife. The atlas connects it to the “Recife · Pátio · São · Pedro · culture · popular culture” circuit, grouping places by theme and geography without inventing a single chronology.
