Proposal for the Museum of Tolerance, at the University of São Paulo (USP). A Museum that is flexible to host any kind of temporary exhibition – and at the same time that translates the particularities of its collection. Starting from this premise for the permanent exhibition, the project proposes a museum as a “labyrinth”: a labyrinth arranged at various levels interconnected by ramps, functioning as a spiral that connects all the nine rooms of the museum and seeks to express the contents of the exhibition with contradictions and tensions (“black people”, “education and citizenship”, “indigenous question”, “inquisition and marranism”, “holocaust and anti-Semitism”, “tolerance of the intolerable” and the other four sessions).
