- MOTHERING {PROPOSAL}
Goal:
Real change can only emerge from the exercise of imagining a different world. “Mothering” is an invitation to dream, negotiate and expand the horizons of the possible. We aim to address the institutional and systemic constraints of motherhood, so we can look at mothering in its full potential.
Mothering is an exhibition and ongoing project, draws on collectivity and creativity as paths towards improving life in our community and beyond, as such we have reached out to partners and collaborators from multiple fields, beyond the visual arts, to participate in the public programme (dance, behaviour science, lactation) and publication (literature).
This is a 55SP projetc in partnership with Kupfer Project and will take place

Monica Ventura
Mônica Ventura was born in 1985 in São Paulo, where she lives and works.
Visual artist and designer with a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design from Fundação Armando Alvares Penteado (FAAP) - São Paulo, Ventura currently researches philosophies and constructive processes of pre-colonial architecture and crafts (African Continent - Amerindian Peoples - Vedic Philosophy). Her works talk about the feminine and raciality in narratives that seek to understand the psychosocial complexity of Afro-descendant women inserted in different contexts. A black woman, she sings her body memory rubbing it in her ancestry from stories of her life and research. In her works, there is a special interest in Afro-Amerindian cosmology and cosmogony, in addition to the use of her objects, symbols and rituals.
Among the national and international exhibitions in which she participated are the individual “O Sorriso de Acotirene”, at the São Paulo Cultural Center (2018), and the collective “Estratégias do Feminino” at Farol Santander (Porto Alegre, 2019), “Feminist Stories” at Masp (São Paulo, 2019) and “Repartimiento - Luto Tropical” at Galeria Pasto (Buenos Aires, 2019)
In 2018 she was a resident at the Ocupação Coletivo Namíbìa, at the Espaço VOID in São Paulo and in 2016 at the Jardim Suspenso Artist Residence in Rio de Janeiro.

Priscila Roxo
Addressing issues of gender, class and territory, including art, ‘A Mãe Tá On’ invites us to rethink the existence of the peripheral woman as a power and force that sustains the foundation of society. The exhibition is the result of the follow-up that curator Carollina Lauriano carried out through NAMI with the artist in the last year.
For next month, we are planning to bring onboard the others invited artists
