Niterói will host the exhibition "Let Limits Collapse, Let Forgotten Distances Appear," opening on October 5 at the Espaço Cultural Correios. The exhibition features Alberto Saraiva, Enéas Valle, Lígia Teixeira, Marilou Winograd, Mario Camargo, Mark Engel, Marcelo Palmar Rezende, and Petrillo. Curated by Mario Camargo, the show offers an immersion into the artists' poetic universe, reflecting on freedom and providing a profound look at the human existential condition—specifically their own. The curator notes that "being an artist is a state whose meaning is composed of layers, material techniques, forms, and colors, in a constant overflow of sensations."

On October 3, at 6:30 PM, the exhibition “Monstros” (Monsters) will open at Z42 Arte, offering an overview of the eleven-year career of Rio de Janeiro-based artist Fernanda Leme. Curated by Alexandre Sá, the exhibition features approximately 80 paintings—most of which have never been shown before—produced between 2013 and the present, which explore the roles of painting and photography in contemporary life. Drawing from her own life, the artist uses her work to address universal themes, such as the liquid society we inhabit, the fleeting nature of images, grief, loss, and longing. “The exhibition is a chronicle of our time, a work of memory and imagery,” the artist explains. On October 26, at 5:00 PM, she will lead a guided tour of the exhibition alongside curator Alexandre Sá.
