Frestas Triennial Concludes with Thiago de Paula Souza's Exhibition Exploring Brazilian Ecological Spirituality

The Frestas – Triennial of Arts has concluded with "O rio é uma serpente," a final exhibition curated by Thiago de Paula Souza that examines spiritual and ecological dimensions within Brazilian artistic practice. This exhibition represents the culmination of the ongoing triennial program. Concurrently, the VI International Virtual Seminar ARTE!Brasileiros was held, focusing on defending nature and culture through art. The seminar, organized by ARTE!Brasileiros, provided a platform for discussing the intersection of environmental and cultural preservation. Both events highlight contemporary Brazilian art's engagement with ecological themes and spiritual traditions. The triennial exhibition specifically explores how rivers and natural elements are conceptualized in artistic work. These initiatives demonstrate institutional support for art addressing urgent ecological concerns. The virtual format of the seminar facilitated international participation in these critical discussions.
