Artist Ayrson Heráclito is on the cover of the latest issue of Artnexus magazine. His trajectory is explored in the article “The Healing Rituals of Ayrson Heráclito” written by curator and art critic Cecilia Vilela.

In her piece, Vilela highlights the fusion of spirituality, history, identity, and contemporary art in Heráclito’s research and practice.

From iconic works such as the “Bori” and “Sacudimentos” series to the immersive installation “Floresta de Infinitos” (Forest of Infinities) — featured in the recent São Paulo Biennial — Vilela delves deeply into the legacies of Afro-Brazilian traditions and the healing rituals proposed by the Brazilian artist.
