Teresa Viana
In her practice, Teresa Viana materializes tactile thoughts into paintings, and introduces synesthetic elements in her works through the use of thick and heavy layers of encaustic. She does so by using a method she has developed over the years, with the goal of elevating the sculptural dimension of encaustic techniques.
Teresa Viana has exhibited at A.I.R Gallery, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art, University of São Paulo; and São Paulo Museum of Modern Art, among others.

Thiago Honório
Thiago Honório’s research starts from a transdisciplinary matrix. It is fueled by a transit between the ordinary and the extraordinary, by an encounter of different temporalities from the experience between the private and the public spheres, from different kinds of knowledge and exchanges, based on procedures such as dislocations, collections, appropriations, cuts and assemblies.
Thiago Honório has exhibited work at Museu de Arte de São Paulo – MASP; Galeria Luisa Strina, São Paulo; and Museu de Arte da Pampulha, Belo Horizonte, among others.
