On Wednesday, August 20, 2025, at 7 PM, the Museum of Tomorrow in Rio de Janeiro hosted the second edition of the "Sempre um Papo – Palavra Acesa" project. This initiative, which promotes encounters between writers, artists, and the public to discuss poems from Brazilian literature in dialogue with contemporary issues, used the poem "Que País é Este?" by Affonso Romano de Sant’Anna as its basis.

The conversation included the participation of Supreme Court Justice Cármen Lúcia and singer-songwriter Chico César, moderated by journalist and creator of Sempre Um Papo, Afonso Borges. The meeting used poetry as a starting point for a collective reflection on themes such as justice, democracy, identity, and belonging, promoting an interdisciplinary dialogue between literature, law, music, and social thought.

The event was open to all ages and free of charge, with prior registration required. It was presented by the Ministry of Culture, the City Hall of Rio, and the Museum of Tomorrow, and produced by the Associação Cultural Sempre um Papo and AB Comunicação e Cultura.
