With twenty-three Sǎo Paulo galleries participating in the main fair at Art Basel Miami Beach next week, it might be tempting to think that the entire art world has gone north. And maybe it has, but it’s still a great time to get out and visit art around the city.

Tunga on Film

On Friday and Saturday, December 1-2, the Museum of Modern Art of São Paulo (MAM) will be showing a film retrospective of the late, great Tunga. Each day features a different two-hour program, followed by a conversation with filmmaker Eryk Rocha and curator and art critic José Augusto Ribeiro, moderated by Antonio Gonçalves Filho, the curator of this program. More details and tickets here.

Between Art and Access

Already underway and running through December 3 (Sunday), Itaú Cultural is holding another edition of the Festival||Entre|| Art and Access. The program brings together artists with disabilities from different contexts and working in different languages, such as audiovisual, dance, visual arts, literature and circus. With five days of programming, the festival’s mission “is to promote the protagonism of artists and researchers with disabilities through actions dedicated to exploring different artistic languages and themes.” Program details and more information here.
