Pint of Science
Art and science have always walked hand in hand.
For the first time, Brazil hosts Creative Reactions, a festival promoted by Pint of Science worldwide, featuring artworks created in collaboration with scientists. The works address themes such as atoms and galaxies, marvelous minds, civilization and society, body and health, planet Earth, and innovation and technology.
The Creative Reactions movement originated in 2015 in Cambridge, United Kingdom.
Image inspired by an article published in the journal Science: Plastic ingestion as an evolutionary trap; towards a holistic undestanding, which presents the impact of the material on food chains and various branches of the tree of life.
The article is authored by Brazilians Robson G. Santos and Ryan Andrade, and Argentine Gabriel E. Machovsky-Capuska. The trio explores how plastic ingestion caused by human actions poses a problem for the evolution of animal species in marine, terrestrial, and freshwater environments.
Mulheres Luz - photographers and women of the image
Mulheres Luz was born to make the material produced by female photographers and women who work in this field in Brazil more accessible and so have their work better seen and disseminated. Bringing together essays and portfolios of various themes, periods of time, and territories, as well as researches and cultural publications.
The platform proposes to act as a professional network, a tool that allows the national and international markets to find, by region and segment, the women who are part of the broad productive chain of making and thinking photography.
A diversified place of action, speech, and listening to host meetings, connections, and collaborations to stimulate and strengthen the production of stories with a standpoint and the intention of contributing to the disruption of systems that are repeated and established based on a logic in which women are not seen. It is urgent to fill gaps in time and space and not allow erasures.
A net under construction and an invitation to take up spaces and promote changes. Together!
The project is conceived by the editor, curator, and producer Mônica Maia, in partnership with Frida Produção Cultural, of executive producers Ana Silvia Forgiarini and Mariane Goldberg, and is developed by the editors and producers Ivana Debértolis and Livia Bitetti, with the accompaniment of journalist, photography critic and university professor Simonetta Persichetti, with design and communication assistance by Fernanda Masini.
Tiradentes Photo Festival - Foto em Pauta
DRIVE-IN LIFE essay selected.
Launch of the four-video series showcasing the results of the open call for the project "Inside a Suspended Time." Musical performance by Marcos Souza, playing live in front of the photos.
In this launch, we are joined by Mônica Maia, Gabriela Sá, Bruno Magalhães, and Marcos Souza, responsible for the editing and curation of this exhibition.
The "Inside a Suspended Time" project sought to gather images produced in Brazil during this moment when the pandemic affects the entire world. The aim was to bring together documentary works, journalistic photographs, and personal and poetic images in various forms. The project is a collaboration between Foto Em Pauta, FotoRio, Solar Foto Festival, and DOC Galeria, receiving 14,239 photos from 1,759 submitted works from all states in Brazil.
The essay A BACKYARD, A NEIGHBOUR, AN AUTUMN has been selected as well.
Buscador (Searcher) (e-book)
In the analog era, editing a contact was an intimate and often lonely act. We photographers were, after the laboratory technicians, the first to see that material, with great expectation. At that moment ended what Joan Fontcuberta defines as "the wait for uncertainty – the time between the shooting and the developed photos – which covered both hopes and fears."
Are there also hopes and fears in the photographer when searching for himself on Google?
BUSCADOR starts from a provocation to some colleagues: I proposed to the invited photographers that they make contact with something equally intimate, at first – their work, their own image –, but already seen by countless people and already edited by the often ruthless, sometimes accurate, other times unaware, Google.
In the e-book available in https://issuu.com/graoeditora/docs/buscador_organizacao_mcolucci the reader finds the definitive edition of each photographer, as well as reports on the various sensations generated by the proposal.
Invited photographers: Ana Carolina Fernandes, Caio Vilela, Carlos Ebert, Clício Barroso Filho, Eustáquio Neves, Fernando Costa Netto, Guy Veloso, Juan Esteves, Louise Chin e Ignacio Aronovich (Lost Art), Luciano Candisani, Lucille Kanzawa, Miriam Homem de Mello, Paulo Fridman, Penna Prearo, Rogério Assis, Tuca Reinés.
