Distributed between the areas Heart, Well-Being and Feeling Together, the exhibition offers a series of information about the vital organ, in addition to immersive experiences. Among the topics covered will be the importance of heart health, its relationship with quality of life, the impact of social inequality on cardiovascular diseases, the relationship between mental health and physical health and what can be done to ensure a better life.

"The exhibition invites our audience to unravel the mysteries and beauties of the heart, on a journey that talks about the human body and also about building the tomorrows we desire: tomorrows with health, longevity, well-being and quality of life. And, above all, tomorrows in which we feel alive, pulsating with life and with the world", highlights Bruna Baffa, general director of the Museum of Tomorrow.

"The World Congress will make Brazil the global center of cardiology for a few days, and this exhibition brings science closer to the population through art. It is an invitation to society to become aware of the importance of the heart in our lives. In this way, we create an excellent opportunity for people to be protagonists in the achievement of good health and agents in the dissemination of healthier lifestyle habits. This partnership with the Museum of Tomorrow consolidates the socio-educational mission of the SBC focused on raising awareness about prevention and risk factors for cardiovascular diseases", comments Dr. João Fernando Monteiro Ferreira, president of the SBC Administrative Council.

Heart

The first section of the exhibition addresses aspects related to the interior of the human body, focusing on the structure of the heart, its functioning and conditions that can affect it. In this way, the public can get closer to the physiology of the heart and perceive it as an organ that works in connection with several others. Through an interactive experience, it is possible to hear and see your heartbeat replicated in the environment.

Well-Living

This area highlights the social, behavioral, economic, ethnic/racial and environmental aspects that contribute to individual choices and expose the complexity of achieving a quality of life within the current social construction. This context reveals the importance of humanized, multidisciplinary and individualized medical care, in addition to reinforcing the need for public policies to guarantee access to health.

Feel Together

After seeing, hearing and reading about the role of the heart, visitors end their experience by feeling the power they have in their chest. This last section conveys, with an audiovisual intervention of poetry and dance, the sensation of what it is to be alive, to be present in the world, to feel joy and pain and to share experiences. It is also possible to have access to other perspectives on well-being, as well as the approach to the heart from African philosophy in content produced by philosopher Renato Noguera.
