Brazilian folk art reflects structural characteristics of the formation of national identity, appropriating the fusion of multiple cultural influences and the creativity that pulses in the great mosaic called Brazil. Fertile ground for culture, the state of Alagoas houses masters who create universes in different languages, techniques and artistic expressions and, to bring these talents closer to the world, “ Alagoas Feita à Mão ” is preparing another international stop. This time, the project lands in New York , adding more Brazilianness to the House Brazil New York 2022 , which takes place from May 11 to 25.

Curated by Marco Aurélio Pulchério (Marco500) and Rodrigo Ambrosio , the project brings together, in addition to new works, part of the creations that stood out in the exhibition " Alagoas - The Brazilian Artisanal Soul", held during Miami Art and Design Week in December 2021. These are works by masters and artisans who perpetuate knowledge that spans generations, while at the same time imprinting their particular visions, revealing thought-provoking views on the world.

The works dialogue with the main theme of Casa Brasil New York 2022, which is “ Brazil in Natura, terra adentro ”, curated by Natasha Schlobach . The event is organized by the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil) and has the objective of promoting Brazilian products with high design, quality, sustainability and innovation, bringing Brazilian entrepreneurs from the Home & Construction sectors closer to potential buyers in the USA.
