Pivô Boulevard Hosts Giulia Zabarella’s Open Studio
Pivô invited the public to attend artist Giulia Zabarella’s Open Studio, taking place on Thursday, June 18, from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM at Pivô Boulevard in Salvador. The event marked the conclusion of her artistic residency and offers visitors an opportunity to engage with the processes, research, and works developed during two months of immersion in the city.
The program featured an artistic action situated between poetic improvisation and performative reading at 6:30 PM, presented by the resident artist in collaboration with artist João Paes. The live two-voice reading interweaves visual and textual fragments gathered through encounters and observations during the residency. Following this, at 7:00 PM, curator Janaina Selva, who accompanied Giulia throughout her stay in Salvador, lead a conversation about the artist’s practice, creative paths, and working processes.
“Giulia arrives with a body that is both willing and available to engage with the complexity of the questions she seeks to approach. Within the context of the residency, she steps gently onto the ground of Salvador and, through each encounter with artists, passersby, institutions, streets, celebrations, and traditional practices, invents her own tools for investigation, connection, and attentive listening, reinventing herself with every meeting,” comments Janaina.
The culinary activation was led by Regina Lopes, a cook from Ilha de Maré.
Giulia Zabarella’s residency is made possible through a partnership between Pivô and Salta art.
