A professor at PUC-SP and a central figure in the fight for the democratization of Brazilian television in the 1980s and 1990s, the journalist was one of the main promoters of university TVs in the country. At the Discussing the archive meeting, he talks about his participation in the first editions of Videobrasil, debating the revitalization of Brazilian television during the period of redemocratization.

"Discussing the archive" is an action consisting of a cycle of meetings that activate the Videobrasil Historical Collection, deepening the reading of its contents. Artists, curators, researchers and critics who have collaborated or participated in various editions of the Videobrasil Biennial comment on specific periods in its history and video production in the Global South. The meeting was part of the Public Programs of the 22nd Biennial Sesc_Videobrasil, at Sesc 24 de Maio, in dialogue with the "40-Year Special" exhibition, which can be visited online here.
