How do stories become part of a collective memory? Tamar Guimarães explores this question through films in which places, voices and social rituals reveal the structures that shape our lives. Presented with Fortes D’Aloia & Gabriel, this opening evening offers a closer look at a practice that moves between documentary and fiction, attending to what everyday encounters reveal about history and power.

An image appears still, until a detail reveals that time is passing. David Claerbout works along this uncertain boundary between photography and cinema, asking us to reconsider how we look and how long we stay with an image. Presented with Esther Schipper, the evening explores a practice in which light, movement and duration gradually transform what we see.

Pegeen, A Life Through Art is the first monograph dedicated to Pegeen, daughter of Peggy Guggenheim and painter. Benjamin Hélon, grandson of Pegeen and co-author of the book with Benjamin Lanot and Gaia Finotello, will be at Silencio to celebrate its launch. Elaborated with archives and in-depth research, this reference book's ambition is to give Pegeen and her deeply personal, theatrical and free-spirited painting their rightful spots in art history. The monograph is published by JBE and connected to a show starting October 19th at Durazzo Gallery in Paris.

In Anri Sala’s work, sound changes the way an image is understood. Music, silence and rhythm shape narratives that unfold through listening as much as looking. Presented with Marian Goodman Gallery, this evening enters an artistic practice where a shift in tempo or an interval between sounds can carry the emotional weight of a story.

The future looks strangely familiar in Luiz Roque’s films. Science fiction meets queer desire; polished images give way to worlds where the rules have shifted. His work travelled to the Venice Biennale in 2022. Tonight, with Mendes Wood Gallery, we enter his cinematic universe from the intimacy of Silencio’s cinema. Take a seat and let your bearings slip.

Look twice at that familiar logo. In Minerva Cuevas’s hands, the everyday language of consumption starts to reveal who holds the power. The artist behind Game Over, presented at Museo Jumex in 2022, joins the programme with kurimanzutto Gallery for an evening that makes the ordinary feel newly questionable. You may leave seeing the street outside a little differently.
