Will Brazilians dominate the world? We have no doubt about that. And this has been proven in the biggest architecture and design events that take place in every continent and country. Not to mention the awards and achievements that the "Brazilians" have been winning – it is important to highlight the recent RIBA Award that chose for the first time a Brazilian project, the
Escola da Fazenda de Canuanã , designed by Marcelo Rosenbaum + Aleph Zero. And it is no different at fairs, such as
Miami Art Week .

Miami Art Week shakes up the market and brings together renowned names and leading figures from the world of art and design. And Brazilians are making waves in the exhibitions and gaining worldwide visibility. This year, PINTA Miami – which takes place between the 5th and 9th of December – completes its 12th edition, at the Mana Wynwood Convention Center, in Miami, comprising 85 galleries, focused on modern and contemporary art from Latin America, Spain and Portugal.
With the theme
Crossing Cultures , the fair is divided into country sections, namely Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Portugal, Spain and Venezuela. And we are here to talk about a special one, of course:
Brazilian Section curated by Mario Goia

The Brazilian section of PINTA, curated by Mario Goia, aims to present the concepts, themes, galleries and artists selected for the pavilions. Five galleries will be present: Baró Galeria (São Paulo), Caldeira (Curitiba), Estação (São Paulo) and Paulo), Janaina Torres (São Paulo), Mamute (Porto Alegre) and Murilo Castro (Belo Horizonte).
The curator’s focus is on the repeated expression of “country of the future,” which, according to Goia, traces the winding paths of contemporary Brazilian history. Thus, the works of artists such as Luciano Magno, Maya Weishoff, and Vitor Mizael probe the process of creating identity through the visual imagination of this Latin American country. This “almost utopian quest”, as defined by the curator, establishes a dialectic between the processes, elements and visual orders that present space as a discussion, rather than an illustration or definition.
