Tarcísio de Freitas inaugurates the new Professor Genilson Carlos Magrini State School in Emilianópolis and reinforces his commitment to public education.

 


In a ceremony marked by emotion and optimism, Governor Tarcísio de Freitas celebrated, this Thursday, the inauguration of the Professor Genilson Carlos Magrini State School in Emilianópolis — a modern, complete school that represents a leap in quality for education in the region.


The new unit has ten classrooms, designed to offer spacious and welcoming environments for students. In addition, there is a computer lab to train students in the use of new technologies, a reading room that encourages the habit of reading and reflection, and a laboratory where it will be possible to conduct experiments and promote the practical teaching of science. The building is complemented by a large courtyard and open sports courts, spaces that will allow for social interaction, leisure, and sports practice, promoting well-being and integration among young people.


For Governor Tarcísio, this delivery is much more than just bricks: “We are investing to offer dignified, structured, and innovative education. Adequate school infrastructure is an essential part of social transformation—it is the foundation for building a fairer and more promising future for our students.”


Since the beginning of his term, the São Paulo State government claims to have already inaugurated more than 60 new state schools. This effort is accompanied by an ambitious program of works: renovations, expansions, public-private partnerships, and modernization of school units, reinforcing the administration's commitment to a more accessible, modern, and high-quality educational network.


With the Professor Genilson Carlos Magrini State School, the government reaffirms its vision that educating well means investing in human potential—and that each new school is a concrete opportunity to build, in practice, a more dignified future for the entire community of Emilianópolis and the state as a whole.

Alma da Rua Gallery opens solo exhibition by Mari Pavanelli – Exhibition closes the gallery's calendar of shows for the year.


The Alma da Rua Gallery, located in one of the most emblematic addresses in São Paulo, Beco do Batman, presents, starting November 29th, a solo exhibition by Mari Pavanelli. Titled “Between Affection and Absence,” the show features a series of previously unseen works. These canvases, through her unmistakable style, depict female figures representing feelings that inhabit her in different spheres, as she explains: “In the female figures I portray, there is introspection, melancholy, and strength. They are not portraits of other women, but of internal states, of presences that inhabit me. There is a sad sweetness in them, a calm beauty, and an emotional density that invites the viewer to linger.”
Mari explains that these works address a learning process about latent marks that permeate her existence. “It’s not about healing, but my paintings speak about this process: that of gently rebuilding oneself, of learning to be whole even in pieces, of transforming silence into living matter,” she reveals. In this universe where there is an encounter between silence—not empty, but welcoming—Pavanelli creates the narrative of her creations and understands them, in a space between presence and absence, as places of pause, memory, and reconnection.

 


Thus, the work “The Floor of Shards” is a powerful reminder of a past lived in the countryside, in dialogue with her reality, in a metaphor for herself, in her words: “like a person who has already lost, who has already broken, but who continues to rebuild.” Painting, for her, means a process of feeling and remembering, of gathering what has been scattered and giving form to what has broken, with everything always connected and interconnected to her existential perception. “My work stems from what surrounds me and permeates me. Especially the relationship with my home, my body, and the plants I cultivate, which become extensions of each other. It is the body as dwelling and the house as body.”

 

These elements appear in the works not only as symbols, but as living presences, witnessing time, care, and affection. Thus, the exhibition “'Between Affection and Absence' is about remaining, about recognizing that it is possible to flourish, even when everything seems to have broken,” concludes Mari Pavanelli.
