This year's DW! will feature the launch of the Satélite lamp, created by Superlimão for Luxion Iluminação.

Maria Fernanda Lucena's solo exhibition presents her new series, "Paper Doll." The works were conceived through practices central to the artist's process: cutting and collage. She views these as playful activities that evoke childhood games, while also referencing the customary gestures of the fashion world—a cornerstone of her practice. A regular at the Praça XV antique market in downtown Rio de Janeiro, she sources 3x4 photographs to create layered images, stitching these unknown faces into costumes worn by pop culture icons and her own musical influences.

How can we consider the relationships between art, architecture, humanity, and social housing? Who is architecture intended for? Who does it actually serve? What issues permeate and, above all, affect urban life? These and other questions will be debated at the seminar Imersões: arte e arquitetura (Immersions: Art and Architecture), which will be held virtually on March 2, 3, 4, and 5, 2021, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, featuring national and international guests. The seminar will promote a critical debate on topics within the context of the 27th World Congress of Architects - UIA 2021, when Rio will receive the title of World Capital of Architecture from UNESCO.

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.
