Until 2018, the four finalists of each edition donated an artwork to MAM-Rio to contribute to the expansion of the museum’s collection. Since the annual exhibition moved to Villa Aymoré, the four finalists now donate an artwork to the PIPA Institute. In 2019, Berna Reale, Cabelo, Guerreiro do Divino Amor e Jaime Lauriano – in addition to Denilson Baniwa, PIPA Online 2019 Winner – donated a work to the Institute.

Denilson Baniwa
Denilson Baniwa is an anthropophagous artist: he appropriates Western languages to then “decolonize” them in his work. The artist, in his contemporary trajectory, has consolidated himself as a reference, breaking paradigms and opening paths to the protagonism of the indigenous people in the national territory.
