Designing spaces requires more than just considering sustainability and the future of the planet; it necessitates a focus on aspects that promote well-being, emotional satisfaction, and the best possible experience for those who will inhabit them.

I believe every city or place holds something that leaves a mark on us, representing our identity or our journey. When we are far away, visualizing these places makes us feel comforted, welcomed, and, in a sense, at home.

How can we consider the relationships between art, architecture, humanity, and social housing? Who is architecture intended for? Who does it actually serve?

On March 8, 2021, Simone Cadinelli Arte Contemporânea will open the exhibition "Rubble, Skins, Residue" to the public, featuring new works by artist Jeane Terra. These pieces were created using various unique techniques and processes she has developed over the past few years—including during the months of social isolation—taking as a starting point the rubble of houses in Pontal de Atafona, a beach in the northern region of Rio de Janeiro state that is being swallowed by the sea. The exhibition will occupy the entire gallery. In addition to the "dry paintings"—or "paint skins," a process she created and has since patented—and the "dry monotypes," the show will bring together sculptures, photographs, an embroidery piece, and two installations: a wall excavation and a window display facing Rua Aníbal de Mendonça in Ipanema.
