A Gentil Carioca is pleased to present Agree to Disagree, a group exhibition curated by Matheus Morani, occupying both the Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo gallery spaces.
Opening in Rio de Janeiro - 8 November, 2025.
Opening in São Paulo - 13 November, 2025.
Bringing together works by over twenty artists—Brazilian and international, from different regions and generations—the exhibition investigates the notion of difference and its relationship to the ways in which we organize ourselves in community.
In the midst of a global political landscape marked by polarization and intensifying exclusionary discourses, Agree to Disagree proposes a space for coexistence and reflection, where disagreement and diversity of perspectives are understood as fundamental principles for the construction of collective freedom.
Presented by the curator as part of an ongoing investigation, the exhibition resonates with the founding premises of A Gentil Carioca, which, since 2003, has been committed to showcasing a diverse body of artists whose experimental practices are connected to collective and social contexts.
In the encounter of these multiple artistic inquiries, the exhibition—spread across both gallery locations—invites reflection on the importance of dissent in shaping collective bodies, as well as on its transformative role in building new forms of social organization.
