Curatorship, organization, original texts, and essay editing for the publication; and delivery of the website for the edition titled "Mil graus" (A Thousand Degrees), part of the 38th Panorama of Brazilian Art at the Museum of Modern Art of São Paulo (MAM-SP). The exhibition critically examined the country's current reality through the concept of "limit-heat"—a temperature at which everything transforms—to map a multidimensional horizon of contemporary Brazilian artistic production. Public and educational programs also reflected the points of contact and contrast among the diverse lines of inquiry and practices that collectively constituted the exhibition's high energy intensity. A touring version of "Mil graus" was also presented at Sesc Campinas (SP) in 2025.

Development of the exhibition program's 2nd edition, commissioned by Almeida & Dale, with the show entitled "Gestures of Love, Seduction Practices." The exhibition brought together 29 artists, including 10 selected, 4 invited, and 15 established artists and agents. The aim was to investigate the constellation of human and non-human relationships ranging from the biology and chemistry of libido to the magic of the power of attraction or the visceral force of repulsion, revisiting romantic inspirations, sensations of pleasure and sexual connections, but also friendships and family ties. Additionally, Fora developed the website for the program, launched in 2023. To learn more about Contra-Flecha, visit its page in the "Projects" menu and check out the program's website.

Development of a collective exhibition at Mendes Wood DM, bringing together a comprehensive selection of works in different media and from artists of diverse origins and generations. The exhibition reflects how universal mysteries are updated under contemporary impulses, creating an exhibition design that encompassed the entire gallery space. The exhibition began with the enigmatic hybridism of the sphinx — half human, half beast — as a synthesis of vital paradoxes, embracing the inexorable problems of current ecological conditions to discuss paradigmatic changes and constant transfigurations towards a radical indescribability. The exhibition also included an intense program of performances and unfolded into a publication with curatorial texts, presentation of the artists and their works, and the visual references that underpinned the project's research.

Development of an exhibition program commissioned by Almeida & Dale, interested in new perspectives on the history of Brazilian art. Its goal is to create exhibitions that bridge the gap between the works in the gallery's collection/network — primarily modern pieces from the 20th century —, invited artists and artists selected through an open call. Annually, the project involves defining a conceptual/curatorial proposition for the edition, inviting curators, drafting the call, selecting applicants, and defining invitees, managing all dynamics and services involving participating artists, activities related to the production of the exhibition, among other tasks. The project also includes a public program of conversations, a video record of the exhibition, and a printed publication. For the pilot edition, the exhibition "Bend But Don’t Break" brought together 32 artists, including 10 selected, 8 invited, and 14 established artists. The aim was to reflect on how the manipulation of matter, both physical and imaginative, can provoke reflections on the possibilities of transforming the body — which stretches, bends, and flexes — but also on expanded dynamics of transmutations, hybridisms, and unusual connections through certain infusions of energy.
