"The selection of two Brazilians to helm Latin America's biggest art event marks a return to championing local perspectives after the success of Cameroonian curator Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung's exhibition last year."
"Andrea Pinheiro, president of the Fundação Bienal de São Paulo, explained the move was born of 'a clear conviction: that there exists, in Brazil, a curatorial generation with the talent, experience, and vision necessary to keep the Bienal de São Paulo at the center of the artistic debate of our time.'"
"Founded in 1951, the Bienal de São Paulo is the biggest art event in the Southern Hemisphere, emphasizing a renewed commitment to embracing Brazilian curatorial traditions 'in dialogue with contemporary debates.'"
Amanda Carneiro and Raphael Fonseca have been named chief curators for the 37th Bienal de São Paulo, set to open in fall 2027. This decision reflects a commitment to local perspectives following the previous year's success with a Cameroonian curator. Andrea Pinheiro, president of the Fundação Bienal de São Paulo, expressed confidence in the talent and vision of the Brazilian curatorial generation. Carneiro has experience from the Venice Biennale and has curated at MASP, while Fonseca is involved in multiple international art events and institutions.
