Subsequent openings expand the scope to include indigenous spirituality and color theory. In Fortaleza, Roberto Galvão’s exhibition ‘UNA’ at the Museu da Cultura Cearense utilizes black as a creative matrix, with the title referencing the Nheengatu word for black. In Recife, the ‘KAMYTÁ’ exhibition at Christal Galeria features works by indigenous artists Olinda Tupinambá and Ziel Karapotó. This collection, resulting from a residency in the Costa dos Corais Environmental Protection Area, uses ritual paintings and photo-performances to address ancestral memory, territory, and the climate emergency. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-13: New art exhibitions open in Brazil featuring Roberto Galvão and indigenous artists New art exhibitions in Brazil feature Roberto Galvão’s black-themed “UNA” in Fortaleza and indigenous artists Olinda Tupinambá and Ziel Karapotó’s “KAMYTÁ” in Recife. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/new-art-exhibitions-open-in-brazil-featuring-roberto-galvo-and-indigenous-artists ### 2026-08-10: Art exhibitions showcase personal histories in Brazil Art exhibitions ‘Retrospectiva’ by Karola Behet Elshout in Taquara and ‘Estradas’ by Adriana de Paula Trindade in Mato Grosso do Sul are currently open to the public. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/art-exhibitions-showcase-personal-histories-in-brazil --- Cite as: Art exhibitions in Brazil.
