Kicking off cycle #4 of our ARTE+CARE program is artist Lin Lima, who presents a new series of works, indicating a development of his research on the materiality of the pencil, in connection with kinetic, neo-concrete and pop art. In “Archeology of the Trace“, the artist seeks, in a poetic and abstract way, to reflect on what we were until recently, and what may be unearthed soon so that we can understand how we reached this new era, a very different stage from what we had imagined or pictured a few months ago.
Part of the sales of these works will benefit another relevant initiative of public interest in the fields of culture, health and primary care. For this 4th cycle, we will support the project “Lanchonete <> Lanchonete”, a collective work organized and activated by artist Thelma Vilas Boas, which takes place in the ancestral territory known as Little Africa, in the downtown area of Rio de Janeiro. The project works as a cooperative / school of knowledge / community and political kitchen. Since 2016, it has been promoting and strengthening processes of collective learning, exchange and hearing among all its agents: children, youth, adults, artists, workers, teachers, researchers, neighbours, friends and other partners, all together for the purposes of social welfare and the experience of potentialities. The project currently benefits a network of 56 children living in the neighbourhoods of Saúde, Gamboa and Santo Cristo.
On the following weeks, joining cycle #4, artists Solange Escosteguy, Deborah Engel and Claudia Hersz will participate bringing new works. Stay tuned on our online channels!

ARTE+CARE is a program to support our artists and to help people and organizations that aid, care, and protect those who are most affected during these difficult times: cultural workers facing economic strain, children and vulnerable communities. Series of unpublished works at affordable prices (ranging from USD 250 to USD 900 each) were developed exclusively by our represented artists for the program, and each month, part of the sales will be donated to a different initiative.
