ME.PE. – MEmories of the PEninsula<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space]

As an integral part of the ICBIE, the <\/span>ME.PE<\/span>. – MEm\u00f3rias da PEn\u00ednsula –\u00a0 was conceived and created by Pietro Gallina in 2014 to be a space for reference and preservation of a collection of memories of the Itapagipe Peninsula in the Lower City of Salvador de Bahia.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Since August 25, 2024, the\u00a0<\/span>M<\/span>E.PE<\/span>. space has revived its purpose by bringing more color and movement, in partnership with ATELI\u00ca POMAR, created and managed by the artist, G\u00e9ssica Lima.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Your contribution will help to maintain the space and update the information it contains, continuing the necessary historical and photographic research activities on the Itapagipe Peninsula. In addition to the permanent exhibition, the project is also to hold periodic exhibitions on specific themes related to the Peninsula and its transformation today, promoting, for example, photographic competitions, debates, reports from old and new residents, among other possibilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space]

MORE ABOUT O ME.PE.<\/strong><\/em><\/h6>\n

In May 2014, the ICBIE inaugurated a new\u00a0<\/span>element<\/b>\u00a0to its \u201ccultural building\u201d: the project \u201c<\/span>ME.PE<\/span>. \u2013 MEm\u00f3rias da PEn\u00ednsula\u201d (Memories of the Peninsula), an exhibition space and a large laboratory that opens\u00a0<\/span>a\u00a0narration about the history of the Itapagipe Peninsula, in the lower city of Salvador.<\/span><\/p>\n

This collection,\u00a0<\/span>mainly\u00a0<\/b>made up of\u00a0photographic\u00a0<\/span>records, began with<\/b>\u00a0the personal research of the ICBIE\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>founder and\u00a0<\/b>artistic director, Pietro Gallina, but it\u00a0<\/span>was<\/b>\u00a0assembled collaboratively as part of a strategy\u00a0<\/span>aiming\u00a0<\/b>to\u00a0<\/span>instigate<\/b>\u00a0and encourage the participation of the residents in the construction of this project, giving them the possibility of discussing their history through their memories.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cI believe that curating this collection is very important for our community, because its versatility allows it to be used by various audiences, from researchers to tourists interested in a deeper and more qualitative experience of our culture\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Pietro Gallina, curator of\u00a0<\/span>ME.PE<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>founder of the\u00a0<\/b>ICBIE \u2013 Institute of Culture Brazil Italy Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n

The goal of\u00a0<\/span>ME.PE<\/span>. is to become a place that stimulates the knowledge of one\u2019s own territory, aimed at the local community,\u00a0<\/span>to instill a\u00a0<\/b>love for their land and to\u00a0<\/span>raise an awareness\u00a0<\/b>of the Peninsula<\/span>\u2019s history,<\/b>\u00a0thereby <\/strong>involving\u00a0<\/span>them\u00a0<\/b>in\u00a0<\/span>its\u00a0<\/b>defense, improvement and respect, by<\/span>\u00a0<\/b>participating in cultural,\u00a0<\/span>touristic<\/b>\u00a0and sports activities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since August 25, 2024, the\u00a0<\/span>ME.PE<\/span>\u00a0space has revived its purpose by bringing more color and movement, in partnership with ATELI\u00ca POMAR, created and managed by the artist, G\u00e9ssica Lima, since December 2020, which as the name suggests, is a plot of fruit trees and which will contribute with workshops\u00a0<\/span>and\u00a0<\/b>artistic, musical, poetic and literary meetings.<\/span><\/p>\n

A space where visitors will find creation and exhibition in the same place, understanding and learning about a past full of rich memories and writing new stories, starting from the here and now.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    SOME INFORMATION ABOUT ITAPAGIPE: A PEARL IN THE BAY OF ALL SAINTS<\/em><\/strong><\/h6>\n<\/div>

    The historical and artistic wealth of Itapagipe is immense and can hardly be summed up in a page. A place of ships, religiosity, fishing, handicrafts, productive industries, popular festivals, soccer and rowing clubs.<\/span>
    \n<\/span>
    \n<\/span>We highlight some famous churches such as Bonfim and Boa Viagem, architectural monuments such as the former Fratelli Vita factory, Abrigo Dom Pedro II, Solar Amado Bahia, and Palacete Machado, which are true works of art.<\/span>
    \n<\/span>
    \n<\/span>There are also many important events that took place on the Peninsula:<\/span>
    \n<\/span>
    \n<\/span>1903<\/span>
    \n<\/span>The father of aviation, Santos Dumont, took part in one of the first regattas in Ribeira, thus beginning the glorious history of rowing clubs.<\/span>
    \n<\/span>
    \n<\/span>1922 to 1931<\/span>
    \n<\/span>In the first air crossings of the South Atlantic, the pilots: Gago Coutinho – Portuguese, Jo\u00e3o Ribeiro de Barros – Brazilian and Italo Balbo – Italian, the latter with a squadron of 11 planes, made a stopover at the Ribeira hydroport.<\/span>
    \n<\/span>
    \n<\/span>1939<\/span>
    \n<\/span>Get\u00falio Vargas visited Brazil’s first oil well at Joanes-Lobato.<\/span>
    \n<\/span>
    \n<\/span>1980<\/span>
    \n<\/span>Pope John Paul II inaugurated the Alagados church and visited Sister Dulce. From the 1950s until 1964, the ICBIE mansion was the headquarters of E.C. Bahia.<\/span>
    \n<\/span>
    \n<\/span>The Itapagipe Peninsula, then, is extremely rich and dense with cultural and historical information and, for this reason,\u00a0<\/span>ME.PE<\/span>\u00a0wants to contribute to strengthening and preserving the memory of this territory.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space]<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
