37th Panorama of Brazilian Art Explores Social and Environmental Resilience Through 26 Artists
The 37th Panorama of Brazilian Art, titled 'Sob as Cinzas, Brasa' (Under the Ashes, Ember), is open until January 15, 2023. Curated by Claudinei Roberto da Silva, Vanessa Davidson, Cristiana Tejo, and Cauê Alves, the exhibition draws inspiration from recent fires at the Museu Nacional do Rio, Cinemateca de São Paulo, and the Amazon and Pantanal regions. It addresses themes of resilience and rebirth while highlighting national concerns. Featuring 26 artists, many of whom created new works during pandemic restrictions, the exhibition includes the Jardim das Esculturas and Museu Afro Brasil. Curator Cauê Alves connects the concept of ashes to scorched earth and 'brasa' (ember) to Brazil's red wood, while architect Anna Ferrari's design integrates spaces and paints the ceiling red to evoke thematic warmth.
