From Word to Image, or from Image to Word, by Ariana Nuala

Accentuating the movements that connect writing and orality to image creation, this audio guide reiterates the relationships between words and images in an effort to revise the paradigms that traverse different languages, as expressed through artistic works.

Recovering Paradises: Not Needing the End to Arrive, by Carollina Lauriano

The Showcase audio guide details poetic aspects of the artists participating in the sector. Lauriano’s curation connects environmental racism to the legacy of colonial modernity, aiming to highlight possible paths to freedom between dystopias and utopias, seeking new poetic ways of inhabiting the world.

The Light of the Tropics: Identities, Landscapes, and Architectures, by Henrique Menezes

Beyond the foreground of the canvas and the depicted figures, this audio guide proposes a journey that observes the setting of each work: whether domestic spaces, architectural structures, or even landscapes, the aim is to “look to the background” of the paintings to explore and question the tropical visuality.

Modernism and Contemporary Art in (De)Sync, by Ludimilla Fonseca

The transition from modern to contemporary art continues to spark discussions, likely because the current notion of art history is somewhat obsessed with the concept of chronological time. Always trapped between a “before” and an “after,” it can be interesting to consider a perspective outside of linear time, one that can free the “life of art” from being defined by its descent.

Appearances Can Be Deceiving, by Livia Debbane

Knowledge about design is generated when it is touched, handled, and observed from different angles, gathering clues about when and how it was produced. This audio guide is based on the fluid and complementary concepts of manual, industrial, and digital fabrication to tell the stories of Brazilian furniture.
