INDEPENDENTEMENTE is a video exhibition of visual arts and performances, which uses the walls of cities as a screen, broadcasted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Visual works are projected on the same day and time in different locations in the cities. The purpose of the project is to invite people in quarantine to their windows, to see and experience works from independent artists. The exhibition was also broadcasted online. We count with collaborators and partners from cities across Brazil to carry out the projections.
Applications were opened between 10/06 and 16/06 of 2020, and from 28 artists who were interested, 10 artists were selected by the curatorship of the project's producers. The debut of INDEPENDENTEMENTE was on Sunday, the 12th of July.

ARTISTS
Lia Fortes is 16 years old and has always been passionate about art. Born in RJ, she has been drawing since she was young. Growing up, she got involved with writing, cinema and performing arts, but her main art expression is still through painting. One of her greatest inspirations is the figure of the woman, which appears a lot in her works. She says that “art is an essential form of expression, and through what I do, I seek to demonstrate my admiration for all women warriors of the world”.
Raíssa Jalkh (23 years old) is a designer and visual artist from Rio de Janeiro, graduate from UFRJ. Her work presents itself in lines, objects, colors, masses and traces, bringing the self in its raw and extremely intimate form to debate the intersection of mind, healing and body behavior in the contemporary world.
Ana Verônica, or Anavê, is a designer student at UFRJ. Very fond of music. And cinema. And more music. Her work presented in the exhibition is an animation based on a random night's dream.
Lucas Lima is a photographer, visual artist and writer. Passing through engineering, arts and various other experiences, he always felt the need to exercise and express his creativity. Since he was a child, he has navigated through the waters of plastic arts, moving between drawing and painting. Now, with photography, he discovered a new passion that allowed him to experiment new language possibilities. Lucas likes to work in three main areas: discomfort, lack of freedom and time. In each of them, his expression plays with the dream and with a distancing from the object to bring the personification of the portrayed.
Bia Vinzon is a dancer and circus artist, Dance student at Faculdade Angel Vianna. She develops her research around contemporary dance techniques, contact-improvisation and aerial acrobatics. About her work, she says: “a 'bodegón' is a gathering of inanimate objects. This nature of death exudes the life behind it. My nature is feminine. I'm Bia, and these are my beauties.”
Born in Rio de Janeiro, Maria Paganelli studied Painting at the School of Fine Arts at UFRJ. In addition to being an artist, she is a singer-songwriter and educator. She is interested in different areas of work, because she loves working with creation, an activity that has no barriers. Most of her works are painting and drawing, although she also shows herself to the world in other formats, such as letters, collages, photographs or even small and playful sculptures. Her works usually link affective themes to timeless memories, creating figurative-abstract images.
From the orange tree, the lime orange.
Letícia Lima, student of Visual Communication at the School of Fine Arts at UFRJ, brings us her series “Mini Mundos Cítricos” [en: Mini Citric Worlds], which puts our dimension in front of the universe in perspective; the difficulties, obstacles, discoveries and confrontations of the extraordinary daily life. The series is under constant construction as new mini worlds unfold. The images are composed of photos and drawings scanned from sketchbooks or made directly on the computer.
Felipe Bittencourt is a visual artist who works mainly with performance, photography and video, also using drawing as a base language for research and development of his works.
BICHO [en: Animal] is an experiment in physical strategies that seeks a state of latent transmutation, with no apparent results or objectives other than the performer's own wear, which fulfills the duty of adaptation and confinement within a domestic space considered as a temporary setting for a manifestation of state. The movement research is supported by the behavioral research of nocturnal insects, also considered as lunar for their focal point of illumination.
Julia Aiz is a self-taught visual artist, born and based in Rio de Janeiro. Her practice ranges from collages, prints, publications, urban interventions and installations. She is interested in researching the uses of the image in its appropriation and transgression, the emptiness, the unexpected, gesture, body, gender and social standards.
Carolina Leal is a 23-year-old artist from Rio de Janeiro, whose object of study is the world of the unconscious. Her work is the materialization of inputs arising from different types of spiritual experiences. It is presented through paintings and objects through shapes, gestures and colors, bringing emotions and meanings to those who look deeply into that universe. She works with the interpretation of the subtle world on different platforms. She likes to travel between the macros and micros of each universe and simplify them into symbols.
