The Associação Paulista de Medicina hosts the 'Memória Paulistana' exhibition until March 13, paying tribute to São Paulo's anniversary. Artist and educator Cristiane Carbone displays oil-on-canvas works that revisit the metropolis's historical heritage and architecture, linking past and present.

The exhibition runs Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the ground floor of the association, located on Avenida Brigadeiro Luís Antônio in the Bela Vista neighborhood. Entry is free, inviting visitors to reflect on São Paulo's urban evolution through art.
