Conceived to last two years, the exhibition Nise da Silveira: Caminhos de uma Psiquiatra Rebelde [Nise da Silveira: Paths of a Rebel Psychiatrist] was installed in 2006 in the Museu de Imagens do Inconsciente. The exhibition brought together in three modules a broad biographical material of the psychiatrist’s revolutionary life, as well as the rich scientific/artistic collection of the work of the inmates of the former National Psychiatrist Center of Engenho de Dentro (now Institute Nise da Silveira).
The installation introduces, through photographs, works and texts, the remarkable professional life of Nise, the contact and definitive support for the first inmate artists beginning in the 50s, and for the “live museum”, which consisted of the collection of the Institute’s contemporary artists. These segments were joined to a detailed chronology of the trajectory of one of the greatest Brazilians of our history.
