Instituto Itaú Cultural

This guide to Instituto Itaú Cultural in São Paulo takes you two floors under Avenida Paulista, into an exhibition called Game, Arte, Cultura, Comunidade that turns a fine-arts institute into a working arcade. You'll hear about a battered 1984 console upstairs, and about Brazilian titles most visitors have never heard of, including one of the country's earliest videogames and a game made together with an indigenous community so it could tell its own story. Listen for the crowd noise as you move down toward the louder floor below.
