About

For the last 15 years, we have been creating critical narrative exhibitions, aligning academic research with contemporary art, design, science and history. The studio is known for its popular and provocative approach to exhibition experience, putting together different languages and cultural backgrounds in order to bring a diverse audience to museums.

More than 10 exhibitions, music and circus festivals, and a Multiplatform project for historical communication (Rolé Carioca), brought many artists from around the world to different cultural venues and territories in the city of Rio.

With great media and audience feedback, studio M’Baraká curated and produced exhibitions at venues such as CCBB (Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil), Museum of Tomorrow, CRAB (Center for Design And Crafts Sebrae), Gallery of The National Bank of Social Development and Museu Nacional (Natural History Museum of Rio), Fiocruz and The Museum of Images of The Unconscious.

NA MÍDIA

Outra sacada original da curadoria do grupo M’Baraká foi investigar a história do território onde se instaura toda a ‘emoção de lidar’ de Nise da Silveira. O Engenho de Dentro, bairro periférico do Rio, para onde eram alijados os loucos, pobres e criminosos ao longo do século XX, bairro que já trazia na sua história uma rota de fuga de negros escravizados. Aqui, no entanto, o experimento vai além do acento didático dos mapas e infográficos, deixando ao espectador a provocação de investigar o seu próprio território. ‘A cabeça pensa onde os pés pisam’, nos sopra Frei Betto, admirador de Nise.
