The group exhibition at Casa Fiat de Cultura explores the intersections of art, mobility, and urban culture, framing the streets as spaces of memory, circulation, and Brazilian identity. Nassar presents paintings that appropriate popular imagery and visual signs, in dialogue with contemporary art movements, particularly pop and concretism. Also included in the exhibition is a work by Heitor dos Prazeres, an artist whose practice gave great prominence to Brazilian popular culture through depictions of festivals, Afro-Brazilian religions, samba, and bohemian life.
