On-site course: Missions-Rio Grande do Sul

The Museu de Arte Sacra de São Paulo promotes a “On-site course” in Rio Grande do Sul on the topic “A Jesuit Nation: the people of the missions”, who will speak on the experience of the formation of a Catholic indigenous State in southern Brazil.

OBJECTIVE

The goal of the course is to present, on the spot, the seven people who are part of an important chapter in the history of Rio Grande do Sul and Brazil. These people/reductions have led to prosperous cities, assisted on demarcation, and were subject to the formation of a great heroic tone regionalist folklore around the figures of the Jesuit priests and of the Indians ,including in particular Sepé Tiaraju (meant ¨ ¨ Yellow Hair keeper)

The culture developed in these centres has reached a high level of complexity in terms of art, urban and social harmony.

The signs left by Seven People of the missions were strong and remain in forms of ruins, architectural marks, borders, Customs and legends of the region. His relics can still be seen in the archaeological sites and museums. Its importance is worthy of attention of UNESCO, and the collection of statuary that preserved and are scattered in private and public collections is today national heritage listed by IPHAN.
