Conversation moderated by Janaina Selva at 7 pm
Pivô Boulevard invites the public to the Open Studio of Jamires Martins on May 27, Wednesday, from 5pm to 9pm.
The program includes a conversation with the artist from Piauí at 7pm, mediated by Janaina Selva, a visual arts curator who has accompanied Jamires throughout her residency, marked by experimentations and articulations in Salvador.
The Open Studio will offer the public an opportunity to closely engage with the artist’s processes, which articulate narratives around the memory of territories shaped by water and forests, and the connections between the capitals of Piauí and Bahia.
“Jamires has an artistic practice deeply connected to territory, its people, beings, knowledge systems, and waters. It is beautiful to see Jamires bringing geographies closer together. Teresina and Salvador, relatively distant cities, meet through her studies of pigments made from clay brought from Piauí, her investigations into discarded plastic, and her attentive and wise observation of the plants and herbs found throughout the spaces of Salvador and its surroundings,” highlights Janaina.
The kitchen activation will be hosted by Ana Paula de São Tomé de Paripe.
Jamires’s residency, selected through the Conexão modality of the 2026 Open Call, takes place through a bilateral partnership with CAMPO Arte Contemporânea (Teresina/Piauí), simultaneously hosting and sending artists to each institution’s residency programs.
The Pivô Conexão modality aims to expand Pivô Salvador’s institutional network and strengthen exchanges with artistic production from other territories, enabling resident participants to develop broader research into artistic practices in Brazil.

Jamires Martins is a visual artist whose practice spans illustration, painting, experimental collage, mural work, and the design of eco-adornments and amulets. Her work develops through material investigations using cajá tree bark, colored clays, and discarded plastics, articulating narratives around the memory of water and forest territories. In her works, imaginaries emerge that evoke animals, customs, beliefs, and protective objects, composing a poetics that intertwines nature, memory, and fabulation.
She has presented work in galleries and museums in the state of Piauí, as well as participating in national exhibitions, such as the 100 Years of Radio in Brazil competition, promoted by Abert, and shows connected to student biennials.
