Ponto Riscado

Wall painting, acrylic on wood

Ymo 09

15 May
21 June
Wednesday to Sunday

The panels unfold as drawn constellations and adopt the visual language of pontos riscados (drawings rooted in afro-Brazilian religious practices). Setting out from the Brazilian origins of YMo 09, these become more than symbols: they are gestures of memory, bearers of ancestral knowledge and traces of spiritual communication.

The work is in dialogue with a multicultural present as it moves between worlds – where faith meets lived reality and tradition is altered by encounters. Inspired by the legacy of Rubem Valentim, the compositions seek out a visual grammar that structures but at the same time is open, sacral and contemporary.

Lines, symbols and forms go beyond representation: They activate. They connect. They call forth. Each panel becomes a threshold where different cosmologies meet each other, and opens a space where identity, rather than being defined, undergoes constant negotiation – between past and present, ritual and abstraction, the individual and the collective.
