Brazilian Students Invited to Submit Projects for 16th Prague Quadrennial Student Show
The 16th Prague Quadrennial is now accepting submissions for the Student Show, which will feature 35 selected projects curated by Cleiton Almeida, Mayara Assis, Mery Horta, and Yasmin Coelho. This exhibition will highlight often-overlooked Brazilian scenography practices, serving as both a display and a performative venue. The curatorial vision focuses on the exploration of themes such as presence, absence, sound, and silence, resonating with the Quadrennial's overarching theme of Absences and Silences. The initiative seeks to broaden Brazilian cultural representation by integrating Afro-Indigenous viewpoints and practices from diverse backgrounds. Interested participants can submit their work until October 31, 2026, at cenografiasdoavesso.com/convocatoria. The team also intends to organize workshops and public discussions to enrich the educational aspect of the project.
