## Brazilian and Portuguese connections in Bangalore

Bangalore’s cultural archives offer several starting points for exploring Brazil and Portugal. The National Gallery of Modern Art on Palace Road lists *Brasilia 60+ and the Construction of Modern Brazil* in its [past-exhibition archive](https://www.ngmaindia.gov.in/ngma_bangaluru_past-exhibitions.asp), with an inauguration scheduled for 21 March 2023. The gallery and the Embassy of Brazil in New Delhi organised it under the India-Brazil cultural exchange programme. For optional independent study, use the exhibition’s theme to compare Bengaluru and Brasília in Portuguese: how would you describe a building’s shape, a public space or the way a city is planned?

Music provides another thread at the same gallery. Its [performance archive](https://ngmaindia.gov.in/ngma_bangaluru_events-performances.asp) lists an Indo-Brazilian concert dated 9 December 2010, bringing together Paulo Zereu on piano, Shudhendra Rao on sitar and Akram Khan on tabla. The programme gives a concrete example of musical exchange across instrumental traditions.

Portuguese literature reached the stage at Bangalore International Centre in Domlur on 5 July 2023. Its [*Fernando and His Grandmother* programme](https://bangaloreinternationalcentre.org/event/fernando-and-his-grandmother/) paired Latha Reddy’s introduction to Fernando Pessoa with an English-language play by Armando Nascimento Rosa, translated by Susannah Finzi. The programme explains Pessoa’s heteronyms as invented personalities with separate biographies and writing styles. That distinction offers a useful reading question: how does a writer change the voice and perspective of a text?

The same centre’s [*More Films for Freedom* programme of 22 June 2025](https://bangaloreinternationalcentre.org/event/more-films-for-freedom/) included two shorts in Brazilian Portuguese with English subtitles: *The Enchanted Day of the Eres* and *A Bird Called Memory*. Their synopses approach LGBTQIA+ experiences through, respectively, a Candomblé celebration and a trans woman’s search for her bird in Rio de Janeiro. These archived descriptions provide a starting point for investigating Brazilian storytelling and choosing a subject for further reading; they are records of a past screening.

Football offers a separate local connection. The [Indian Super League’s account of Alan Costa’s departure](https://www.indiansuperleague.com/news/brazilian-defender-alan-costa-leaves-bengaluru-fc-after-two-seasons), published on 31 March 2023, records the Brazilian defender’s two seasons with Bengaluru FC and his goal in the club’s victorious 2022 Durand Cup final. His time at the club is a specific sporting link a local supporter can explore through match reports.

There is also a diplomatic history to investigate. [IANS reported the inauguration of Brazil’s honorary consulate in Bengaluru in September 2019](https://www.daijiworld.com/news/newsDisplay.aspx?newsID=626784), identifying the promotion of cultural and economic ties among its stated aims. Read alongside the arts programmes, this supplies another perspective on how exchanges between the city and Brazil have been documented.
