The 38th Panorama of Brazilian Art: Mil Graus is presented by the Museum of Modern Art of São Paulo, curated by Germano Dushá and Thiago de Paula Souza, with co-curation by Ariana Nuala. The exhibition’s title, Mil Graus (A thousand degrees), reflects the concept of a “heat-limit,” symbolizing transformation under intense conditions, both physical and metaphysical. This edition features 34 artists from 16 Brazilian states, with over 130 works, 79 of which are new creations for the event.

Due to renovations at Ibirapuera Park, where the event is traditionally situated, the exhibition is currently hosted at the Museum of Contemporary Art at São Paulo University (MAC USP). The show spans the ground and third floors, exploring contemporary Brazilian art through five thematic axes: General Ecology, Original Territories, Tropical Lead, Body-Devices, and Trances and Crossings. These themes serve as threads that connect and contrast the artists’ diverse practices, as per a statement.

The Panorama of Brazilian Art started in 1969 when MAM São Paulo opened at Ibirapuera Park. Early editions greatly shaped the museum’s contemporary art collection. Now held every two years, the series promotes discussions on Brazilian art, culture, and society, tackling important contemporary issues.

Artists: Adriano Amaral, Advânio Lessa, Ana Clara Tito, Antonio Tarsis, Davi Pontes, Dona Romana, Frederico Filippi, Gabriel Massan, Ivan Campos, Jayme Fygura, Jonas Van & Juno B., José Adário dos Santos, Joseca Mokahesi Yanomami, Labō & Rafaela Kennedy, Laís Amaral, Lucas Arruda, Marcus Deusdedit, Maria Lira Marques, Marina Woisky, Marlene Almeida, Melissa de Oliveira, Mestre Nado, MEXA, Noara Quintana, Paulo Nimer Pjota, Paulo Pires, Rafael RG, Rebeca Carapiá, Rop Cateh with Gê Viana and Thiago Martins de Melo, Sallisa Rosa, Solange Pessoa, Tropa do Gurilouko, Zahỳ Tentehar, Zimar.
