exhibition · 2026-04-24

The exhibition 'Naveganças' is currently on display at Funarte in São Paulo and will run until May 3, 2025, celebrating the 35th anniversary of Ponte Cultura. This showcase features artists from Brazil, Germany, and Canada, delving into themes of displacement, territory, and cartography, with navigation serving as a key metaphor. Curated by Herbert Rolim, it presents the works of 19 artists, including Angelo Milani and Ana Cristina Mendes. Rolim's piece is titled 'Beija-sertão: homem/natureza,' while Mendes exhibits 'Sertão de Dentro' (2017). The term 'naveganças' connects navigation with creation and transformation. Founded in Germany in 1990, Ponte Cultura emphasizes collaborative projects between Brazil and Europe. The exhibition is free and open from 2 PM to 7 PM at Alameda Nothmann, 1058, Campos Elíseos.
