arte popular brazil artists rediscovered 1234746454

Earlier this spring, artist Julia Isídrez led a guided tour at São Paulo's Gomide & Co. gallery for a joint exhibition with Maria Lira. The show highlights two artists from different generations and mediums—Lira from Brazil (painting) and Isídrez from Paraguay (sculpture, featured in the 2024 Venice Biennale)—who both engage Indigenous and Afro-Indigenous traditions from a contemporary perspective. Gallerist Thiago Gomide rejects labels like 'folk' or 'popular,' insisting it is simply an art exhibition. The article profiles a network of Brazilian dealers, including Vilma Eid of Galeria Estação and Antonio Almeida of Almeida & Dale, who have worked to revive interest in arte popular, a category historically applied to self-taught, Indigenous, and Black artists.

‘From Gaza to the World’: A Devastating Art Show Arrives in Brooklyn

A devastating exhibition titled 'From Gaza to the World' has opened at Recess, a nonprofit art venue in Brooklyn, as the first North American pavilion of the Gaza Biennale. Organized by the Forbidden Museum of Jabal Al Risan and launched in 2024, the show features 25 Palestinian artists, many still in Gaza or displaced. Due to the ongoing Israel-Gaza War, most works are documentation—printouts, facsimiles, and video—rather than original objects. Highlights include Malaka Abu Owda's 'When the Body Became a Message' (2024), Firas Thabet's tapestry 'Gaznica' (2025) adapting Picasso's Guernica, and Emad Badwan's docudrama 'Live Broadcast' (2024). The exhibition bears witness to life under bombardment, famine, and displacement, with wall labels including heartbreaking artist quotes.
