Brainlab Presents: Rooted Female Brazilian Artists

The Culture Program of Brainlab, a leading provider of digital medical technology, presents the exhibition ROOTED Female Brazilian Artists at the company’s headquarters in Munich-Riem. Curator Tereza de Arruda conceived the exhibition by connecting works by Brazilian artists from the Vilsmeier – Linhares Collection with other artists, some of whom have specific works for the occasion.
Project Name: Rooted Female Brazilian Artists
Studio Name: Brainlab

ROOTED tells the story of the relationship between humans and nature, which connects all the works on display, organized around different aspects of this connection; this exhibition builds on
the company’s previous exhibition, Unrooted, held in the first half of this year, which addressed the traumas of displacement and migration.

This sequence also implicitly suggests that we can overcome the uncertainty of identity and origin by returning to our “roots” in nature. Through the eyes of these Brazilian artists, we are invited to examine our relationship with nature and draw new strength from it.

Divided into five sections, ROOTED presents the role that the relationship between humans and nature continues to play in artistic production. Linked by this affinity, the 15 contemporary artists deliver a “Tropical Expressionism” that Tarsila do Amaral, a pioneer of Brazilian Modernism, also represented in this exhibition, coined half a century ago.
