other · 2026-04-19

The second edition of the Public Program at Pinacoteca has ended with increased visitation, featuring artist Jonathas de Andrade, who discussed themes of ambiguity in encounters. In Venice, de Andrade commented on a state of suspension and distress in contemporary life. Pinacoteca announced its new chief curator, though the name was not specified. A cultural management seminar organized by ARTE!Brasileiros and Itaú Cultural held its second session, bringing together artists and experts. The exhibition 'À Nordeste' presented 275 works at Sesc 24 de Maio. Questions were raised about whether art without class struggle is merely decoration, and a discussion titled 'Words in the world of things' was held, exploring linguistic and material intersections.
