LATITUDE PRESENTS PARTICIPATING GALLERIES FROM BRAZIL IN FRIEZE NEW YORK
The highlighted galleries are: Galeria Nara Roesler (São Paulo / New York) and Mendes Wood DM (São Paulo / New York / Brussels) for their participation in Frieze NY at The Shed, and Fortes D’Aloia & Gabriel (São Paulo) and Galeria Marilia Razuk (São Paulo) at Frieze Viewing Room, which will run until May 14, 2021.

Latitude - Platform for Brazilian art galleries abroad is a programme developed to promote Brazil's contemporary art market internationally. Created in 2007, in 2011 it became a partnership between Associação Brasileira de Arte Contemporânea - ABACT (Brazilian Association of Contemporary Art Galleries) and the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (Apex-Brasil) with the goal of creating business opportunities for the sector abroad, mainly through professional training, support for international placements and cultural and commercial promotion. Currently taking part in the Project are nearly 60 galleries located across seven different Brazilian states and representing more than 1000 contemporary artists.
Galeria Nara Roesler offers the opportunity to see the work of three Brazilian artists that are not usually displayed together, creating new perspectives for the audience to engage with: Cristina Canale, Carlito Carvalhosa and Amelia Toledo. The selection presented offers an opportunity to understand how widely different practices have come to coincide in their attempts to capture and embody reflections of the self.
