André Ricardo & Rubem Valentim: Dialogues

About

Coinciding with Valentim’s presence at the 2024 Venice Biennale, and expanding on the conversation around national identity and modernisms in the Global South proposed by the curator Adriano Pedrosa, the exhibition delves into the dialogue between the two artists and reveals their shared interest in Indigenous iconography. The works in the show invite viewers to explore realms of spirituality, history, and artistic expression in Brazil, as Valentim's foundational vision influences Ricardo's contemporary exploration of national identity and narrative.
