The UFMG Design Week went by! But behind the good-looking Instagram posts, do you know how it all went down? We recorded some things during the rush to give you a sneak peek of the insides of the project! The UFMG Design Week is a student project funded by the PRAE 02/25 Call for Proposals. It was carried out by organized students from the Academic Center of Design (CADÊ) at the Federal University of Minas Gerais. We had the support of the Academic Directory of the School of Architecture and Design (da.ead); the Pro-Rectorate for Extension – PRAE; and the School of Architecture and Design of UFMG.

The director's mother is 90 years old—and is beginning to forget herself. Not only herself, but everything else as well. She has dementia. Only her faith and her tireless knitting of exclusively blue socks keep her alive. The director, whose relationship with his mother has been very tense throughout his life, approaches the dissolution of his mother's ego in this experimental and essayistic film with the support of Didier Eribon, Simone de Beauvoir, Norbert Elias, Jean Améry, and others. In addition to this very personal story, he also tells a universal story about the process of aging, about repression, but also about rebellion in dealing with and interacting with aging people.
This first year, from suffering to freedom, bears witness to the rebirth of a liberated country. Surreal Syria, through the eyes of survivors of Sednaya, Adra, Mezze, and other Syrian prisons, tells the story of the dark cells, the lost years, and the endless wait of the faces hanging on the walls. It brings to life the voices that oppression could not silence, reviving in the streets on the first anniversary of freedom.
