SIDNEI TENDLER - Director
About the Director:
Sidnei Tendler is a Brazilian artist, poet, architect, and author. Tendler’s artistic journey spans architecture, poetry, photography, design, and painting. Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2000, he made Belgium his home, where he began to create and explore new concepts. His work invites us to ponder the unseen, the unfelt, and the uncharted—a canvas where imagination knows no bounds. He studied Semiology with Professor Umberto Eco and History of Urbanism with Professor Leonardo Benévolo, receiving a Medal of Honor for this project “Rehabilitation of the Catete Neighborhood”. After 23 years of living in Belgium, Sidnei Tendler is now back to his home country.
