SACRAMENTO, Calif. — It’s been eight years since the Brazilian Center for Cultural Exchange of Sacramento moved into Midtown’s CLARA Studios — a space envisioned as a permanent home.
During that time, the center spent tens of thousands of dollars renovating the rented space to become a hub of Latino culture. Handmade headdresses, figurines and costumes immediately welcome members arriving for their weekly dancing, drumming and Portuguese lessons. On the weekends, visitors enjoy Brazilian feijoada and fried yucca being cooked in the nearby kitchen.
“It’s become a home for all Latinos,” Center CEO Saara Burga said.
