The exhibition presents the unfolding of this process in the form of images. Come and see the results of the workshop, with the work of Paola Fillippi, Lu Moreira, Bianca Toledo, Ludmilla Oliveira, Pâmela Araújo, David Santana, e Carmo Wengorovius.

OPEN CALL: Proposals for summer workshops at Coletivo Amarelo
This summer, we will be opening our doors to new voices, ideas and experiments in learning. We are launching a open call for proposals for workshops to take place in our gallery - in person or online - between the end of May and July 2025.
We invite ARTISTS, WRITERS, CURATORS, THINKERS, TEACHERS, CREATORS, e EXPERIMENTERS of all kinds. Whether it's something in the area of drawing, writing, curatorial practice, photography, painting, or anything that falls within the scope of these disciplines - we want to listen! We're looking for workshops that can move ideas around, encourage dialog, and invite people to think and do things in new ways.
We are particularly interested in workshops that work with:
- Writing (creative, critical, experimental, etc.); drawing, painting, photography, or other visual techniques; multi-disciplinary approaches, critical theory, artistic thinking, curatorial practice, or reflection methodologies.
- We're based in Lisbon, but our workshops don't have to be in Portuguese. We accept proposals in English, Portuguese or a mix - whatever makes the most sense for the format and audience. Workshops adapted for English speakers will be given priority.
- Workshops can be aimed at beginners or a more advanced audience. Ideally, they should be designed for small to medium-sized groups and should encourage active participation.

This year, Coletivo Amarelo will be part of the Portal section of the Miart ⁂
What is the Portal? Curated by Alessio Antoniolli. The Portal section brings together projects that break down the boundaries between disciplines, time and space, exploring unusual narratives and perspectives, as well as new creative fields. The choice of design is inspired by Robert Rauschenberg's visionary approach to making art as a collective process and his description of his collaborative works "as a single group of brains, feelings and solutions." Rejecting rigid and outdated categories, these projects challenge our understanding of geography and temporalities, offering a richer and more complex view of the past and present to reshape our future.
Coletivo Amarelo is proud to present the project "Stories Incarnate: Intertwined Paths", which brings together the works of Flavia Regaldo and Juliana Matsumura, two Brazilian artists whose work explores themes of memory, identity and interconnectivity. Through drawing, installation, photography and printmaking, their practices interweave personal and historical reflections on ancestry, displacement and the forces that shape our world.
From Juliana's intricate explorations of memory and territory to Flavia's dynamic investigations of rhythm, chaos and nature, their works create a space for reflection - offering an alternative way of navigating our past, present and future. The use of paper and various printing techniques, such as monotypes in Juliana's work or etchings in Flavia's, also reflects each artist's individual quest to print their stories, while connecting their practices both physically and conceptually.
If you would like to attend the fair, please contact us for complimentary tickets.
We hope to see you there!

PRELIMINARY: PAPER AS A PROCESS
We invite everyone to our first opening of the year, PRELIMINAR: PAPER AS A PROCESS, a group exhibition that brings together works on paper by:
Veridiana Leite Diego Garcez Gabriela Albuquerque Paula Ferreira Juliana Matsumura
The exhibition delves into the idea of paper as a threshold, where paper operates as a boundary between the outside world and the artist's inner universe. The works presented are a compilation of sketches, studies, unfinished drawings, monotypes and preparations for what comes next.
Paper as a preliminary, a starting point, a vehicle, a laboratory for experimentation. Paper as a relic, vulnerable to the elements, reactive to temperature and time. Paper as a space where ideas take shape and later materialize into something different.

We are delighted to announce the opening date of the exhibition A BODY IN THE WORLD, which brings together new works by Juliana Matsumura curated by João Silvério.
"Juliana Matsumura's exhibition, entitled "A Body in the World", is constructed as a succession of self-referential maps linking her personal memory to the collective identity represented by her family's diaspora between Brazil and Japan. The works created for this project, with a very unique plasticity and a very subtle visual poetics, are between drawing, painting and sculpture and relate references and artifacts, winds, crossings and meridians that draw this memory of a corporeality that crosses the world." - João Silvério

We hope to see you there!

It is with great joy that we announce the opening date of the exhibition Surya, which brings together the work of Veridiana Leitecurated by Leonor Carrilho.
Surya presents a new body of work from the practice of Veridiana Leite, a visual artist from Ribeirão Preto, Brazil, currently living in Lisbon.
Veridiana paints like she dances. Her loose, spontaneous, almost wild gestures deconstruct our imaginary landscapes and take us to new places, sometimes magical, sometimes dark, where our perception is challenged to other observations. Based on references to female figures or mythological beings that are important in her work, Veridiana presents a series of new paintings and ceramic pieces that reveal not only the organic nature of the materials she uses, but also the spiritual expansion of her practice as a painter, sculptor and dancer.
We hope to see you there!
