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 entitled "Zimar vs. Thiago Martins de Melo: A Thousand Heads under the Apotheosis of the Last Sky" for Lima Galeria's booth at SP–Arte Rotas Brasileiras 2023. The show proposed a dialogue between two artists from Maranhão with distinct backgrounds and practices, yet with the same inventive vigor and strong references to Brazilian culture as the basis for their creative expressiveness. In a unique installation, Zimar's masks are combined with Thiago Martins de Melo's sculptural paintings, composing an atmosphere charged with energy, permeated by the manifestation of multiple expressive characters, like a ritualistic space or a force field for the intense circulation of various narratives. The project also included a small printed publication.

The show gathered 20 works spanning from the 1960s to the mid-2000s, bearing witness to the complexity of a prolific and profound body of work that unfolded in a spiraling manner over time. With specific exhibition design and furniture, the booth consists of paintings from different intermittent series, showcasing Montez Magno's magnetic pictorial ability, along with three-dimensional pieces that underline the artist's cosmogonic thinking.

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.

Development of solo exhibition for the inaugural booth by Marco Zero Gallery at ArtRio 2022, presenting a spectrum of the imagery and works of artist Francisco Brennand. Displaying over 30 artworks, including sculptures, paintings, ceramic plates, and objects, ranging several decades. The exhibition design proposed a unique and cohesive environment reminiscent of citadels, temples, and ancient gardens, like a ruin of vanished civilizations, lost times — fundamental notions that permeate the artist's production. The project was accompanied by a digital brochure and a printed poster distributed to visitors, both featuring curatorial text, the artist's biography, and images.

Development of group exhibition for the seventh edition of the project "Pandora Box" by Kura, bringing together artworks by artists Tadáskia and Rebecca Sharp in dialogue with works from the 17th to 19th centuries from the Ivani and Jorge Yunes collection, which permanently occupy the exhibition space. The project — thought specifically for the architectural qualities of the house — also created special supports for Tadáskia's canvases which uniquely inserted them into the space and created an immersive situation in one of the rooms to showcase Sharp's paintings.

Development of a group exhibition at Pace Gallery in East Hampton (USA), bringing together an intergenerational group of artists from within and outside the gallery's program. Connecting modernist canons and contemporary names, the show explored the concept of "universal heat" as a means of sublimation, a vehicle for transforming material and spiritual states. The artworks engaged with themes of transcendence and transmutation, evoking the complex and mysterious dynamics of nature. The exhibition design comprises a series of original devices resembling different blocks of a supercontinent. These organic forms serve as guides, leading visitors through a unique and immersive exhibition experience.
