Véxoa: Reception & Artist Program

As the public center for visual arts at Tufts University, the Art Galleries create a dynamic learning space through a responsive program of contemporary art exhibitions, events, collecting, and scholarship, across our two locations in Medford and Boston. We are driven by our belief in the impact of art and artists on our world and grounded in the values of care, learning, dialogue, and the creative process.

Exhibition celebration with curators Naine Terena, Claudia Mattos Avolese, and artists Denilson Baniwa and Daiara Tukano

Aidekman Arts Center

Tufts University Art Galleries are excited to celebrate Véxoa: We Know. Originally organized for the Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo in 2020, Véxoa was the first exhibition curated by an Indigenous person to be shown in an art museum in Brazil. Tufts University Art Galleries welcome these artists and collectives in collaboratively rewriting an art history that recognizes diversity among Indigenous peoples, the power of self-representation, and a pluralist perspective on artistic production in Brazil and the world beyond.The reception will start with a discussion of the show and the central topics that bridge its travel from Brazil to Medford. Speakers will include guest co-curator Claudia Mattos Avolese, Senior Lecturer at SMFA at Tufts University in conversation with participating artists Denilson Baniwa and Daiara Tukano. This program will be presented in English and Portuguese.
