THE MARCELO GUIMARÃES LIMA INTERVIEW
December 13, 2023
This conversation took place via Zoom on 30 November, 2023. It has been edited for clarity.
Kevin Andrew Heslop: I wonder about your beginnings. I’d be fascinated to hear about your growing up in Rio, its significance for you, what you came to understand about the place as you travelled significantly. Sometimes I feel like you can only understand where you come from by being away from it.
Marcelo Guimarães Lima: I was born in Rio de Janeiro and my parents were from Rio. But then when I was five, they divorced and my mother moved to São Paulo. So I grew up mostly in São Paulo. And Rio is a beautiful city; it’s a nice city; and we visit frequently. But I lived there until I was five years old, so most of my life was in São Paulo, before I left the country to study and work. São Paulo is a very vibrant city. Sometimes it’s a difficult city. It’s too big. But there is something about the cultural life that is very important. It’s very vibrant and has a depth of different cultural manifestations in São Paulo. They have excellent museums. They have the University of São Paulo. I went to study philosophy at the University of São Paulo.
