The exhibition Casa Brasil IBGE - Space of memory and technology, in the House of Representatives, in Brasília, took place this Tuesday (25) at Space Mario Covas, and counted with the presence of representatives, advisors, visitors and IBGE officers. The exhibition will be open until Thursday (27), from 10 am to 4 pm, free of charge.
During the exhibition, visitors will have the opportunity to research data and view the archive of IBGE surveys in interactive panels and totems.
Marcio Pochmann, President of the IBGE, highlighted: "We are very happy to come to Brasília to show what the IBGE is, one of the most important international institutions that produces statistics and geosciences, as well as the largest public surveying institution in Brazil." The President also emphasized that "the IBGE assumes to be the Brazilian compass, inasmuch as it produces the surveys pointing out the route that Brazil has been following."
Gabriel Antonaciio, the IBGE Superintendent in the Federal District, stated that it could not have a more appropriate and significant venue than the House of Representatives to host the exhibition Casa Brasil IBGE.
"To show this exhibition here in the House of Representatives, known as the people´s house, exactly symbolizes what the IBGE does daily: visit millions of households in the entire country, producing reliable information and promoting a direct connection between the governmental actions and the reality lived by each citizen."
Visiting the exhibition, Representative Marcelo Crivella commented: "I think that the IBGE should launch a project for every Representative and Senator to amend the Union Budget so every public school has a totem for children to access the My IBGE website. Of course it would be the first step, and they would follow on their mobile phones. To access the IBGE is to know our country, our people, their current information. It is key for the future, for good policies to develop our country."
To complement the experience, officers of the IBGE State Superintendence in the Federal District (SES-DF) are present to clear doubts, show curiosities about the surveys and demonstrate how the figures raised by the IBGE are important to show the Brazilian reality. The exhibition aims at approaching the public to the universe of the statistics, highlighting its importance to the development of Brazil. IBGE Educa´s characters Pedrinho and Bel host visitors of the exhibition as well.
