On going:
Gruta presents "Aberrant Movements" from March 8 to 29, featuring artists André Felipe Cardoso, Giulia Bianchi, Henrique Oliveira, and Maria Laet, with curation by Icaro Ferraz Vidal Jr. The group exhibition showcases works in painting, sculpture, photography, collage, and video, exploring the tensions between established forms of perception and non-hegemonic ways of existing and inhabiting the Earth.
The show highlights the urgency of the planet’s predatory and extractivist occupation—not through denunciation, but through poetics that suggest alternative ways of inhabiting the world. Aberrant Movements joins cultural initiatives that, throughout 2025, engage with the discussions surrounding COP30, the United Nations Climate Change Conference.

"Bliss" (Êxtase), a visceral and enigmatic tale written by the celebrated writer Katherine Mansfield (1888-1923), published in Brazil by Antofágica publisher, with images of artworks by Giulia Bianchi, serves as the starting point for "Êxtase." It's a lively and pulsating dialogue emerging from the paintings and drawings of three young artists. It presents a deep and feminine perspective on vertiginous affection, where the act of creation becomes a way to capture the intensity and excess experienced by them in the face of the world's vibrating nature.
