It sought to blend popular and erudite art forms, emphasizing the rich folklore, literature, and visual arts of the region. Led by figures like Ariano Suassuna, the movement emphasized the importance of regional identity and cultural heritage. It encouraged artists to draw inspiration from local myths, legends, and historical elements, creating a unique artistic expression that resonated with Brazilian culture and history.
