Ocupação Chico Science is a chance to be introduced to and dive into the creative universe surrounding the everyday life of the musician from Pernambuco, one of the creators of the so-called cena mangue [mangue scene]. His songs, his writing, some of his personal belongings, his books, and his comics are displayed in the exhibition. The beats that he enjoyed listening to and inspired him, his cherished places, his friends and heroes are venerated as well. Documents belonging to his family and his music pals help reflect on his career – and are the inspiration for this publication. As a part of this exhibition, this fanzine brings current texts written by those who, from afar or by standing near, have witnessed and echoed the cultural revolution that took place in Recife in the 1990s.
