Experimental films, polaroids, “film objects,” and previously unseen works by the Rio de Janeiro-based visual artist will occupy the Cavalariças starting March 28.
The solo exhibition brings together a collection of works in various formats, curated by André Sheik, tracing the artist’s experiences, concerns, travels, and friendships.

The “FROM TRASH TO TREASURE: Recycling” project returns for its second edition at Galeria Metara.
This event, which focuses on sustainability and environmental awareness, will feature an exhibition of works by Susi Sielski Cantarino and Osvaldo Gaia, alongside paintings produced during workshops.

The program’s third edition will be led by DJ GrandMaster Raphael, a pioneer of funk parties, joined by MC Cidinho, MC Mascote, MC Cacau, and Duda do Borel.

The activation is based on the work “Só por es-tar” [Just to Be] by the São Paulo-based visual artist and poet, which is part of a group exhibition inspired by a book by South Korean philosopher Byung-Chul Han.

Dialogue with the forest: A contemplative experience from the "Quintas Maravilha" educational program, part of the Maravilha Project

The event offers a two-day immersion into the future of sustainable construction, gathering global leaders, innovative companies, and industry professionals to discuss practical strategies, high-impact networking, and business opportunities within the sustainable building sector.

On Saturday, April 5, the Eiffel bookstore will host the launch of the book Avenida Brasil rodovia metropolitana. Por um estatuto contemporâneo do espaço infraestrutural. Winner of the 2023 IAB National Award, the book advocates for the concept of the "metropolitan highway." Based on a case study of the urban segment of the BR-101 highway in Rio de Janeiro, the work explores the road far beyond the notion of mobility, positioning it as a key space for rethinking design and urban planning in Brazilian metropolises and the Global South.
Featuring a rich and extensive iconography, the book includes a Morphological Atlas of Avenida Brasil. This visualization enables the proposal of "design logics between highway and territory" as catalysts for the relationships and spatialities implicit in the interface between infrastructure and human occupation.
The event will feature a conversation between the author, Pedro de Moraes, and Professor Guilherme Lassance, author of the book In-formal. Infraestrutura urbana revisitada, which will also be launched at the event. The discussion will be moderated by architect and urban planner Pedro Sales, a professor at Escola da Cidade.
