Galeria Jaqueline Martins

Galeria Jaqueline Martins is a space for research, documentation and presentation of contemporary artistic production. The gallery proposes collaborative and innovative curatorial strategies that foster the dialogue between different generations and distinct cultural perspectives. One of its guiding principles is the encouragement of research-oriented conceptualist practices characterized by critical, even subversive, approaches

Since its inauguration in 2011, the gallery has developed a special programme around the investigation of artistic productions carried out during the Brazilian military period – more specifically from the 1970s and 1980s. It promotes a historical revision of processes grounded on strong intellectual resistance, audacity and commitment to art and which transformed the artistic practice in the country, but nonetheless were neglected throughout the last decades.

By integrating research and practice that confront the contemporary scene by means of its exhibition programme, the gallery encourages the revival of the debate that conceives of artistic actions as contact zones for the exercise of aesthetic, social and political change.
