PIPA 2022 Winners Exhibition Opens at Paço Imperial with Decolonial Focus

An exhibition featuring winners of the PIPA 2022 prize has launched at Paço Imperial in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The show, organized by the Municipal Secretariat of Culture, aims to foster awareness and combat racism through artistic engagement. Titled 'A virada decolonial na arte brasileira' (The Decolonial Turn in Brazilian Art), it serves as a catalyst for debate on decolonization in the country's art scene. The event highlights the collective Coletores, whose work is central to the discourse. This initiative underscores institutional efforts to address social issues via cultural programming, positioning contemporary art as a tool for critical reflection and change. The exhibition's timing aligns with ongoing national conversations about racial equity and historical representation.
