AQUI ONDE ESTOU extends the gesture initiated in Daqui de Onde Estou (Venice, 2022), turning the exhibition space into a field of listening, sharing, and affirmation. If before the urgency was to say “from here,” now the challenge is to insist on being — with what we have, with whom we are, with what remains.
Here, the space is not visited — it is traversed. Those who enter, inhabit; those who inhabit, shift; those who shift, transform. The exhibition invites the visitor to cross through questions and frictions. The work does not illustrate ideas: it proposes, intervenes, overflows.
Three questions organize the exhibition’s critical and affective path:
Who can speak and be heard?
(authorship, listening, legitimacy)
Works such as Minha História Deixa Que Eu Conto (Analize Nicolini), Circunstâncias (Kamilla Nunes & Aline Natureza), Diário (Raïssa de Góes), and Leituras de um lugar valioso (Luiza Baldan) investigate the conditions for speech and listening in contexts of silencing, erasure, or symbolic violence.
How do bodies and territories resist?
(friction, care, materiality)
Ceramics, collages, and installations by Ana Campanella, Kamilla Nunes, Sebastián Errázuriz, and Tony Camargo propose visual and poetic strategies of resistance, where fragility and care become political matter.
What does art propose here and now?
(act, ruin, reimagination)
Works by Bárbara Oettinger and Analize Nicolini reactivate ruin as a starting point to reimagine worlds — between collapse and laughter, between delirium and denunciation, between gesture and outcry.
Each work engages with one or more of these questions. Visitors are invited to construct their own passage. Here, art insists — as presence, as trace, as necessary risk.
Additional note:
AQUI ONDE ESTOU (2025) continues the exhibition DAQUI DE ONDE ESTOU (2022), presented in Venice during the 59th Biennale, at the headquarters of WeExhibit, with curatorship by Analize Nicolini and Fernanda Andrade, and co-produced by BraSA.Art and SOMA – People & Culture. On that occasion, the interrupted exhibition Intimidades became a public act of sharing and listening. Now, this trajectory reaffirms itself from the South of the South, with presence, listening, gesture, and urgency.
