Travessias 6 – Colaborações [Collaborations]
From 07/14/2020
Virtual exhibition
In its sixth edition, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the project Travessias takes place online on the platform www.travessias.org.br. Inspired by the theme Collaborations, artists and collectives virtually showed their works: A Noiva, Rato BranKo, Rato Preto, Trovoa and Ventura Profana. The exhibition is curated by Keyna Eleison and Luiza Mello.
Writer, researcher teacher at Escola de Artes Visuais do Parque Lage, Keyna Eleison talks about the challenges of holding an exhibition online. “We face the possibility of not stopping for distance. Understand the possibilities and learn in the context of self-inventions. We are not a revolution if we don’t embrace the possibility of making mistakes and going back and moving on.”.
Luiza Mello remembers the history of the project and how much the concept of collaborations has always been present. “The realization of Travessias over so many years was only possible through the collaboration of people and organizations that believe in the central role of art in expanding the existential possibilities of multiple social groups. The sixth edition refers both to collective experiences and to the meeting between artists and visitors of the Galpão Bela Maré.”.
During the exhibition, each week was dedicated to the work of one of the invited collectives. In the closing week, a conversation was held with the graphic designer of all editions of the project and with Galpão Bela Maré’s educational team. The virtual exhibition posted new artworks until August 29 and remains on the website. All programming is free.
