Staged in 2021 at the Museum of Tomorrow (RJ), the exhibition will travel to four cities in the North and Northeast of Brazil, opening first at the Centro Cultural Vale Maranhão, on 26 March. The show looks at the challenges currently facing Amazonia and the plans already underway to ensure that it will survive into the future. The new social, environmental and economic model for the region is based on three main principles: scientific knowledge, traditional know-how, and a commitment to conservation of the forest. This exhibition is organized around these principles. It shows the beauties, the mysteries, and the urgent needs of the largest tropical forest on the planet.

Ways of Breathing is an exhibition of installations, films, drawings, photography, and texts, resulting from a collaboration between visual artists Anna Costa e Silva and Rafa Éis and civil servants from Rio de Janeiro City Hall’s Department of Culture (SMC). The artists participated in the Public Sector Artists in Residence Program (RASP), which involves a twelve-month immersion in public sector institutions in Brazil to create works of art in collaboration with the employees of these institutions.
Anna presented the dreamlike film “Ventário” and Rafa Éis a series of photographs and sculptures titled “Ways of Breathing”, which was also the title of the exhibition. Both projects seek to present a personal and subjective view of civil servants with the active participation of the civil servants themselves, to contrast with the reality of working days that are often highly routinized and stifling.

The exhibition presents 160 photographic images captured in Brazil by the award-winning Japanese photographer Hiromi Nagakura. Nagakura accompanied the environmentalist Ailton Krenak on five trips to Amazônia between 1993 and 1998, and shows images of the indigenous Yanomami, Xavante, Krikati, Gavião, Yawanawá, Huni Kuin, and Ashaninka peoples. Curated by Krenak in collaboration with assistant curators Angela Pappiani, Eliza Otsuka and Priscyla Gomes, the exhibition has already been shown in São Paulo and an expanded version is now arriving in Rio de Janeiro, including photos that were not present in the São Paulo edition of the show and objects created by the indigenous peoples themselves.

The second edition of the Women of the World Festival arrived in Rio de Janeiro with renewed vigor. The one-week Festival in Mauá Square featured artists, activists, intellectuals, and artisans and highlighted, among other themes, the important role played by women, at a time of a major humanitarian and healthcare emergency, and of resistance to the clear attempt to undermine rights in Brazil. WOW also aims to pay homage to the way women face adversity and the creative solutions they come up with in overcoming challenges, and to help women to persevere in their demands for the changes needed in the world. The 2023 edition of the event featured the participation of intellectuals, such as the writer Conceição Evaristo and the Minister for Racial Equality Anielle Franco, in addition to shows by Alcione, Marina Sena, MC Carol, Larissa Luz, Majur, and many others.

Developed as a partnership between Solar’s team of curators and guest curator Lorraine Mendes, the Overflowing Life and the Desires of the World cycle of exhibitions brings together works by 16 artists whose ways of feeling, thinking and being in relation to the world provide powerful alternatives to the limited and limiting conception of reality imposed by modernity. The title of program refers to a cosmovision that sees the world as a vast continuous flux of life, decentering humanity from its own narratives and understanding everything that exists as multiple manifestations of the intelligence, desire, and memory of the planet itself.

The retrospective of over 20 years of avaf, a collective of artists founded in 2001, presents their work across a wide range of media, including installations, painting, sculpture, tapestry, neon, wallpaper, among others. Immersive and interactive, avaf compositions highlight the presence of color as an instrument of communication and transmission of energy.
The pieces that make the show up are, for the most part, landscape representations displayed in the form of a large labyrinth, exploring connections between the outside world and introspection, between past and present dialogues. In this labyrinth, the viewer finds a narrative that goes back to the history of the collective. The exhibition receives around 30 wallpapers, since the 1st creation of the collective in this support.

Blacks in the Pool immediately conjures up a subversive image. The idea of certain bodies being present in spaces that they have not been accustomed to occupying in the history of Brazil. Places of entertainment and relaxation, but not only this. The pool can also be seen to represent a decent home, food on the table, or access to good healthcare and education. The pool represents many things: partying and working, enjoyment and safety. The phrase also conjures up the idea of a desire and a need for a revolt against prohibitions. Against the impediments to the leading of a full life put in place by centuries of colonization and its more recent ramifications. Against the predations of certain groups and their descendants. It is a call to protest against the processes that have produced, over time, unequal opportunities for white and non-white bodies in their quest for autonomy. An asymmetry that is therefore grounded in the ethnic identity of each and every inhabitant of Brazil and in the color of their skin.

This exhibition is the result of a training residency involving 15 artists from the Free Art School – ELÃ, the third edition of which was staged this year. The show addresses the issue of “Ecologies of Good Living”, a proposal that emerged from ELÃ meetings in 2022, in an attempt to think critically and politically about ecofriendly practices. The meetings raised awareness regarding the impact human beings have on the world, the historical structures that have brought us to this point and the practical steps that need to be taken towards achieving climate justice. Part of this process resulted in the exhibition Ecologies of Good Living, which features work produced by these training residents in a variety of media and styles.
