In November 2022, a group of eight women residents of Rio\u2019s favelas, suburbs, and peripheries put on Mostra Noix<\/a>, the first fine art exhibition in the history of <\/span>Hon\u00f3rio Gurgel<\/span><\/a>, a neighborhood in <\/span>the city\u2019s North Zone<\/a><\/span>. Despite being the birthplace of<\/span> contemporary global musical and cultural icon and superstar Anitta<\/a>, the neighborhood has never had concert halls, a movie theater, cultural centers, live theater, or art exhibitions. Unfortunately, a lack of public support and adequate arts spaces are common in most of Rio’s peripheries and favelas.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first edition of <\/span>Mostra Noix<\/span> was an artistic and cultural installation that drew 1,714 visitors between November 5 and 19 at the Multipurpose Building in <\/span>Madureira Park<\/span><\/a>. The project aimed to disrupt the typical <\/span>Downtown<\/span><\/a>–<\/span>South Zone<\/span><\/a> art circuit and featured a diversity of works, techniques, themes, and artists. The exhibition brought together works across the fields of painting, photography, sculpture, and video installation. All the exhibition content was produced by artists who identify as Black, indigenous, <\/span>LGBTQIAP+<\/span><\/a>, and people with disabilities from various favelas and peripheries across Rio.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that Mostra Noix\u2019s importance in Hon\u00f3rio Gurgel is closely related to the movement for <\/span>visibility and sharing<\/span> the strengths of Rio\u2019s suburbs, favelas, and peripheries. And doing this also prioritizes such initiatives happening in our territories. Our experience reflects this in practice in many ways. It stretched one’s imagination about what an art exhibition is, and about who and where can produce art,\u201d explained Ariane Pereira, one of the event creators.<\/span><\/p>\n
