Pretagonismos shifts the way we look at the history of Brazilian art by foregrounding the presence, production, and narratives of Black artists in the collection of the Museu Nacional de Belas Artes. With more than one hundred works, the exhibition moves away from traditional chronology to build relationships among representation, decoloniality, identity, and historical reparation. The space asserts the right of Black people to exercise agency over their own narratives and to occupy the center—not the margins—of the country’s artistic and cultural production. Design and architecture work as a single reading structure: artworks, names, and stories gain presence so that another panorama of Brazilian art can emerge—broader, more critical, and, above all, necessary.
Ateliês do Rio enters the creative spaces of ten artists from different practices and generations. Photographs by Vicente de Mello and interviews by João Vergara reveal the studio as a living archive, a laboratory, and an extension of each work.
Behind a historic façade, Casa Camolese brings together a restaurant, craft brewery, cocktail bar, delicatessen, and music. Its identity connects the Italian graphic tradition with the atmosphere of a house in Rio.
Botton turns small habits into possible paths toward well-being. It is a brand that brings health, affection, and awareness together to care for oneself, for others, and for the planet without resorting to promises of immediate change.
