O Brasil são muitos: um recorte da coleção do Instituto PIPA

The PIPA Foundation, in partnership with Lisboa Cultura/EGEAC – Galerias Municipais, is pleased to announce the exhibition O Brasil são muitos: um recorte da coleção do Instituto PIPA, the institution’s first international exhibition, to be held in this important space from 26 February to 15 June 2025.

The exhibition brings together part of the PIPA Institute’s collection, built up over the last 15 years since the creation of the PIPA Prize for contemporary Brazilian art. Works from a variety of media will be presented which, as well as reflecting the plurality and strength of the art being produced in the country, are also intertwined with the cultural and political changes witnessed over the last decade and a half in Brazil.

O Brasil são muitos features work by Aleta Valente, Alice Miceli, Arjan Martins, Bárbara Wagner, Berna Reale, Daniel Beerstecher, Denilson Baniwa, Gê Viana, Guerreiro do Divino Amor, Hal Wildson, Letícia Ramos, Paulo Nazareth, Romy Pocztaruk, Sofia Borges, Tatiana Blass, Virginia de Medeiros, Vitória Cribb, UÝRA, and Xadalu Tupã Jekupé, and as Luiz Camillo Osorio, curator of the PIPA Institute, points out, the exhibition shows a Brazil marked by political polarisations and cultural conflicts – among them, in the artistic field, visual languages not formed by the canon, which are vying for visibility by broadening critical parameters and historical narratives.

Lucrécia and Roberto Vinhaes, founders of the PIPA Award and The PIPA Foundation, celebrate this exhibition.
