A Gentil Carioca, one of Brazil's most significant contemporary art galleries, is celebrating 20 years of activity. With a strong national and international presence, the gallery embodies the "carioca" spirit. To mark the occasion, the major group exhibition "Forrobodó"—curated by Ulisses Carrilho—will open on September 9, celebrating the political, poetic, aesthetic, and erotic potential of the streets. The exhibition will occupy the two 1920s townhouses that house the gallery’s Rio headquarters, featuring works by approximately 60 artists, including Adriana Varejão, Anna Bella Geiger, Antonio Dias, Antonio Manuel, Cildo Meireles, Hélio Oiticica, Lenora de Barros, and Denilson Baniwa, among others, all of whom have maintained a relationship with the gallery in various ways.

On March 15, 2023, at 7:00 PM, Anita Schwartz Galeria de Arte will open the exhibition "Tempo-Matéria" (Time-Matter), featuring approximately 14 new, previously unseen paintings by Rio de Janeiro-based artist Dudu Garcia. The works belong to the 2023 "RA 143" series, a title that references the address of the artist's studio on Avenida Rodrigues Alves, in Rio de Janeiro's port district.
