On June 13 at 6:30 pm, the Rachadura Visual channel hosts educator and curator Carla Abraão for an unmissable conversation about the connections between contemporary art, cinema, video art and video installation.
Currently in New York, Carla works as an educator at three of the world’s most important cultural institutions: the MoMA (Museum of Modern Art), the Guggenheim Museum and the Brooklyn Museum. At these institutions, she leads guided tours of temporary exhibitions and modern and contemporary art collections, in addition to developing projects as an independent curator in galleries and exhibition spaces.
With a solid background in art and film — holding a master’s degree in Visual Arts with an emphasis on Art History from UDESC and a bachelor’s degree in Film from UNESPAR —, Carla also taught in the Film program at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), consolidating her role as a bridge between artistic creation and critical thinking.
During the live talk, Carla will discuss her professional path and the developments of video art and video installation in the museum space, reflecting on the curatorial and educational strategies used by international museums to bring audiences closer to these hybrid languages.
“Carla’s work is exemplary because it brings together academic knowledge, curatorial practice and the cultural mediation developed at institutions that are global references, such as MoMA and the Guggenheim. Bringing these experiences into an open conversation with artists and the public in Joaçaba is essential to think about the internationalization of our artistic output and to reinforce that the countryside is also a space for circulation, reflection and experimentation. This exchange strengthens our cultural scene and inspires new practices,” says Rudolfo.
The conversation is part of the activities of the Porão project, carried out with funds from the Joaçaba City Government, through the Secretariat of Communication, Culture and Culture Intendancy, and selected through Cultural Funding Call no. 006/2024/PMJ.
A unique opportunity for artists, students, curators, researchers and contemporary art enthusiasts to reflect on the challenges and possibilities of video art today.
