Saphira & Ventura and Espaço BB open the American edition of the exhibition “When Art Meets Carnival”, bringing the biggest popular party in the world to the New York summer, with the support of the International Society of Contemporary Art of New York (NYICAS) and the Instituto Bienal Amazônia (IBA), and curated by Alcinda Saphira and Marcia Marschhausen, starting on June 5th.

The collective brings together artists represented by the two galleries and guests, with digital works and large paintings, mixing art, technology and sustainability, with emphasis on names engaged in the fight for sustainability and preservation of the Amazon, such as the young Pedro Gui, Alexandre Mavignier, Bari Bing, Johnatan Ryder, Mônica Vianna, Vanessa Barini and Cris Duarte. Another important artist is Rachael Brown who, after the visibility of her work in the exhibition ‘Divino Feminino’, held at the Empower Her Art Forum 2024, in Cairo/Egypt, was invited to participate in the exhibition.

It is worth highlighting the importance of the role played by IBA, which aims to highlight issues of environmental management and sustainability, in addition to discussing topics related to the Amazon and its ecosystem through art, architecture, design and innovation projects, as well as educational projects . Furthermore, Saphira & Ventura Gallery will allocate part of the proceeds from the sale of works to the 2025 Amazon Biennial that will be held during COP 30. 

At Saphira & Ventura, the primary mission is to establish a new standard in the fields of Art, Design, Architecture, Technology and Sustainability, inspired by “Excellence”. The goal is to embody the essence of refined life, globally. Through its creations and events, it seeks to unite a timeless trend with an innovative spirit, awakening imagination and admiration, while honoring cultural heritage. Art is not just art, but a reflection of life in today’s society, embodying quality and essence.
