Diane Lima to Curate 39th Panorama of Brazilian Art at MAM São Paulo
Diane Lima has been appointed as the curator for the upcoming 39th Panorama of Brazilian Art, which takes place at the Museum of Modern Art of São Paulo (MAM São Paulo). Her exhibition, titled "After It’s All Said," aims to question how art is created and seeks to push the boundaries of aesthetic representation through innovative imagination. The selection process spanned about five months and involved MAM's leadership team along with the Arts Commission, which includes members like Alexia Tala and Rosana Paulino, alongside Chief Curator Cauê Alves. Alves pointed out that Lima's project stands out for its ability to foster discussions on representational politics in Brazil. The exhibition is set to launch in September 2026, after renovations at MAM São Paulo in Ibirapuera Park. Since 1969, the Panorama has been crucial in showcasing contemporary issues and Brazil's rich artistic landscape.
