S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 In a bid to celebrate the 60th<\/sup> anniversary of Brazil-Jordan diplomatic ties and the 35th<\/sup> anniversary of the opening of mutual embassies, the Embassy of Brazil in Amman and the\u00a0Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts<\/a>\u00a0are hosting the exhibit Contemporary Brazilian Art, A Short Perspective<\/em>, from June 13 to 27.<\/p>\n

Twenty-seven paintings, ceramic items and installations by Brazilian artists will be featured, including pictures by Alfredo Volpi, Alberto da Veiga Guignard, Percy Lau (Peruvian-born, Brazilian-based), Din\u00e9ia Dutra and Ivana Panizzi (pictured above); and ceramic work by Francisco Brennand. The items hail from the collections of ambassador Francisco Luz; the Embassy of Brazil in Jordan; and the National Gallery. For the opening, there will be caipirinhas made from cacha\u00e7a<\/em> and typical Brazilian snacks, including meat croquettes.<\/p>\n

According to ambassador Luz, the exact date on which Brazil-Jordan diplomatic relations turned 60 was April 6. The 35th<\/sup> anniversary of Brazil\u2019s Embassy in Amman was June 1st<\/sup>, and Jordan\u2019s Embassy in Bras\u00edlia will turn 35 next September 1st<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

\u201cJordan plays a stabilizing role. It\u2019s like an oasis of peace in the region (the country shares borders with Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Palestine and Israel). It\u2019s a politically relevant country for its geographic location, and a watch post for everything that goes on in the Middle East. Tourism is booming, and over 11,000 Brazilians travelled to Jordan last year,\u201d Luz told ANBA over the phone from Amman.<\/p>\n

According to the ambassador, the art show is one of several cultural events held by the Embassy since last April. \u201cWe had a Brazilian music and food festival from April 23 to 27 at the Intercontinental Hotel, and we\u2019ll have a Brazilian film festival from June 30 to July 4 at the Royal Film Commission in Amman,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Brazil-Jordan trade consists mostly of the former\u2019s exports of beef, poultry, livestock and coffee. Last year saw USD 264 million worth of goods shipped from Brazil to Jordan. Year-to-date through May 2019, exports came out to USD 124.5 million, which hints at bigger whole-year sales than in 2018.<\/p>\n

\u201cJordan supplies the West Bank and some provinces in Iraq, and besides meat and coffee, it also buys bus chassis and magnetic card equipment. The country is an export outpost for Europe and the United States,\u201d said the ambassador, who estimates Brazil-Jordan could peak at USD 500 million a year.<\/p>\n

Ambassador Francisco Luz\u2019s stint in Jordan ends next September. Ruy Amaral \u2013 who\u2019s currently Brazil\u2019s ambassador to Cairo, Egypt \u2013 will take his place.<\/p>\n
