Drawing from the relationships between history, territory and displacement, Paulo Nazareth brought the exhibition Esconjuro (Conjuration) to Inhotim.
Since 13 April 2024, the Praça Gallery and other spots in Inhotim are occupied by the artist over the course of 18 months, divided into four seasons: autumn and spring in 2024, and summer and winter in 2025, establishing the exhibition as a living, dynamic presence.

Drawing from the relationships between history, territory and displacement, in the first of these seasons, the works point out different ways of relating to the earth, its cycles and the transformations they produce in the beings. Furthermore, the works reflect practices of exploitation and dispute historically known in the territory.

With a pluralistic and unique language – ranging from paintings to installations – Paulo Nazareth calls for another way of doing things, other ways of negotiating, planning, building, celebrating and reaping the fruits in a broad and generous gesture of reinvention, in which works are exchanged, added and repositioned in the park throughout the exhibition period.
