Adiar o fim do mundo is a political, poetic, and reflective exhibition that brings together works by various artists around urgent themes such as the climate crisis, environmental devastation, the impacts of colonialism, structural racism, and the knowledge of Indigenous peoples. Curated by Ailton Krenak and Paulo Herkenhoff, the exhibition is part of the FGV Arte program and draws on Krenak’s thinking to propose a critical reflection on the future of humanity. Within this context, the participation of Luiz Braga stands out, as his work engages with issues of territory, identity, and ways of life, contributing to the exhibition’s sensitive and critical dimension.

Debret in Question – Contemporary Perspectives critically revisits the legacy of Jean-Baptiste Debret, particularly his work Voyage pittoresque et historique au Brésil (Picturesque and Historical Voyage to Brazil), through the lens of a vibrant generation of contemporary artists currently active in the country. Confronting the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries, France and Brazil, historical painting and new media, the exhibition proposes a dialogue between past and present, problematizing images, narratives, and historical constructions. Within this context, the participation of Sandra Gamarra Heshiki and Tiago Sant’Ana stands out, as their practices critically engage with colonial legacies and modes of historical representation. Curated by Jacques Leenhardt and Gabriela Longman, the exhibition is part of the France–Brazil Season 2025, celebrating 200 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries, following a more concise presentation at the Maison de l’Amérique Latine, in Paris.

The exhibition Complexo Brasil proposes a critical journey through Brazilian culture, bringing together artworks, videos, musical pieces, and documents that investigate the historical relationships between Brazil and Portugal. Curated by José Miguel Wisnik, Milena Britto, and Guilherme Wisnik, with exhibition design by Daniela Thomas, the show occupies both galleries of the headquarters building of the Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian, in Lisbon. Within this context, the participation of Tiago Sant’Ana stands out for his research focused on memory, Afro-Brazilian ancestry, and the relationships between body, territory, and history, in direct dialogue with the conceptual axes of the exhibition.

The exhibition Luiz Braga – Imaginary Archipelago presents 258 photographs, including 190 previously unseen works, offering an essayistic reading of the Pará-born photographer’s 50-year career. Rather than a retrospective, it highlights intimacy, everyday life, and attentive listening as the poetic core of the artist’s practice. Marajó and popular knowledge take center stage in these visual narratives. The show reveals Braga’s sensitive and singular gaze upon the deep Brazil.

Heloisa Hariadne is participating in the exhibition Ancestral: Afro-Américas at CCBB Rio de Janeiro. Curated by Ana Beatriz Almeida and Lauren Haynes, with artistic direction by Marcello Dantas, the show brings together more than 100 works exploring the African diaspora and its influence on the visual arts of both countries.

Ancestral creates a dialogue between Afro-Brazilian and African American artists in celebration of the bicentennial of diplomatic relations between Brazil and the United States. The exhibition addresses themes such as body, dream, and space, encouraging reflections on Afro-American identity and decolonial art. Heloisa Hariadne’s work joins a selection of artists who celebrate African roots and their relevance in shaping a new perspective on contemporary art.
