A journey to Piauí through the eyes of seven artists

(Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) It took 12 days by car to get to the Parnaíba Delta all the way from the interior of the state of Piauí.

Happening this Saturday, November 26th, at the Jacaranda art space in Villa Aymoré, the show features photographs, sculptures, drawings, paintings and sound installations that, born on the road, constitute an ode to “de-mechanizing the gaze”.
