Fundação Bienal de São Paulo announces the curatorial team for its 37th edition

The curatorial team also includes Ana Salazar Herrera, Léuli Eshrāghi, Rado Ištok, Ryan Inouye, and Yina Jiménez Suriel, as well as curatorial assistants Amanda Tavares and Mayara Carvalho. Together, they bring experience from a wide range of international institutions, biennials, research initiatives and independent curatorial practices.

According to Carneiro and Fonseca ‘’the curatorial team brought together for the 37th Bienal de São Paulo has trajectories linked to different contexts, yet shares a common interest in the Bienal de São Paulo, in Brazil, and in a collaborative curatorial practice. Their experiences in curating, research, critical writing, community-based practices, and large-scale projects strengthen an edition that unfolds through multiple voices, worlds, and languages.’’

‘’For us, assembling this team is also a way of affirming a mode of working grounded in relationships, listening, dedication to artists, and attention to the conditions that make each practice possible. It is a joy to work with colleagues we admire and with whom we share intellectual affinities, ethical commitment, and the desire to think of the Bienal as a platform for research, imagination, encounter, and meaningful engagement,” the curators confirm.

For Andrea Pinheiro, president of the Fundação Bienal de São Paulo, the composition of the team reinforces the institution’s historic role as a platform for exchange. ‘’The Bienal de São Paulo has always been a space for dialogue between different cultural, artistic and political contexts,’’ she says. ‘’The composition of this team reaffirms that historical vocation by bringing together curators whose trajectories are deeply connected to some of the most pressing issues of our time.’’
