Encontro
http://www.arhu.umd.edu/technology/scholar.html#

"Encontro developed from a desire to create connections between artists and writers in the Maryland/Washington, D.C. area and their counterparts in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is also an effort to better acquaint these cultures with each other by exploring their identities and influences, from the Afro-Brazilian religion of Macumba to the diversity of American pop culture. Encontro will provide a means of sharing these experiences through fiction, art and poetry. Each issue will present the work of four or more artists in either exhibition or studio tours format, as well as fiction, poetry and criticism in English and Portuguese. It will take the reader to related topics by establishing links to them."
