Editorial, Exhibition Design, Identity
An engineer, urban planner, feminist, and decisive figure in the history of MAM Rio, Carmen Portinho dedicated her life to designing a fairer country through culture, technology, and social emancipation. The exhibition brings together works that reflect her involvement in social housing, the feminist movement, and arts education, while also revealing her fundamental role in building the museum itself. In dialogue with the exhibition design by Juliana Sicuro and Gávea Arquitetura, the show presents a trajectory that pushed against professional and political boundaries, reaffirming the continued relevance of a woman who made the act of designing both a cause and an effect of transformation.

Cuba: Ficción y Fantasía spans more than three decades of the country’s artistic production. Across different generations and languages, the exhibition reveals how imagination, spirituality, humor, and criticism become ways of reinventing Cuban reality.
Encantado, Silva’s seventh album, gains a tactile dimension through a publication that brings together images and traces of the creative process. Enchantment emerges precisely in this gap, where sound and image come together to create a sensory experience.
With more than one hundred works from the MNBA collection, Pretagonismos places Black artists at the center of Brazilian art history. 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.
