Silvia Noronha is a visual artist and researcher of anthropogenic soils from Minas Gerais, Brazil, currently based in Berlin. Her practice explores material agency through participatory and collaborative processes, fostering encounters where matter can assert its own rhythms, exceeding rational meaning. Since 2015, Noronha has been developing work within the field of speculative geology—a pseudo-scientific approach through which she engages soil as a medium that carries multidimensional information, particularly in relation to deep time. Incorporating materials such as earth, clay, glass, electronic waste, and plastic, she simulates geological processes in her sculptures and installations, activating latent energies and fabulating alternative temporalities and material futures.
Noronha’s recent exhibitions include MAC Panama (2025), Museu da Inconfidência, Minas Gerais (2025), ifa Gallery, Stuttgart (2024), RONDO ART, Katowice (2024), Virada Cultural Amazônia de Pé, Belém do Pará (2024), Klima Biennale, Vienna (2024), Johannesburg Art Gallery (2023), Galerie Körnerpark, Berlin (2023), and the Center for Craft, North Carolina (2023).

Roberto Freitas (Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1977) is an artist currently living and working in Brussels. Born in Argentina, he grew up and pursued his studies in Brazil, where he obtained a bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts and a master’s degree in Art Theory from UDESC. Since 2002, his practice has moved freely between cinema, dance, music, sculpture, performance, drawing, and painting, with a particular emphasis on installations. Collaboration has been a consistent aspect of his career, often developed through long-term partnerships with other artists. Over the years, he has taken part in artist residencies, musical presentations, performances, as well as solo and group exhibitions.
Recent exhibitions include ‘Prisencolinensinainciusol’, Zsenne Art Lab, Brussels (2025), ‘Imaginários Comuns’, CCJF, Rio de Janeiro (2024), ‘Cidade Jardim’, Casa GAL, Belo Horizonte (2024), ‘O som que faz fechar os olhos...’, Dotart Galeria, Belo Horizonte (2023), ‘Dimensão Cidade’, Casa das Rosas, São Paulo (2023), and ‘Under Watchful Eyes...’, GC Kontakt, Brussels (2022).

Raquel Versieux (Brazil, 1984) is a visual artist, researcher, and professor. She holds a PhD (2023) and an MA (2014) in Visual Languages from the School of Fine Arts at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, and a BA in Drawing from the Federal University of Minas Gerais (2011). She taught at the Regional University of Cariri (2016-2019) and developed the community-based art project ‘Manejo Movente’ in Crato (Brazil, 2019-2023). Based in Brussels since 2022, she completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Luca School of Arts in Genk (2024). Her research focuses on a political and decolonial reinterpretation of the concept of landscape, revealing the silent narratives of human and more-than-human communities through installations, sculpture, drawing, video, photography, and performance. Her most recent research, informed by the experience of pregnancy and the birth of her son, examines the relationships between the umbilical cord, vocal cords, and distinct manifestations of constrained speech.
Her most recent participations include the Boutures Festival (2025, Brussels), Fête d’Elephant (2025, Brussels), ‘Manejo Movente’ (Centro Cultural do Cariri, 2023), and the 36th Panorama of Brazilian Art (São Paulo, 2019), among others.
