Hello! I am Daniela Labra, Professor Doctor in Contemporary arts and independent curator, Berlin-based. I launched artesquema.com in 2004 and today this is a dormant archive of performance and contemporary visual arts. For a while, artesquema.com was hibernating. In order to revive it, I share my portfolio with a selection of exhibitions curated between 2005-2021:
Performance arte, arquivos críticos e fóssei rebeldes. Revista do program de pós graduação em cinecias da informação/ Museologia. UnB, Brasilia. Nov. 2020.
Com muita alegria disponibilizamos o PDF do catálogo deste festival histórico ocorrido no Rio de Janeiro em 2011 , com participantes de todas as regiões do Brasil.
With great joy, we make available the PDF of this historic festival held in Rio de Janeiro in 2011, with participants from all regions of the country.

Hi. This is the old blog-portfolio-ongoing project of art curator and critique Daniela Labra. This space started 15 years ago and now is time to move forward.
At the moment I share my recent works which are online but also there are plenty of disordered material in this website if you have time to surf. Part of it are in Portuguese only.
My short Bio is updated at the section sobre/about
Thank you.

Jacarandá is a portuguese-english arts magazine published in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Its last number was edited by critic and curator Luisa Duarte and journalist Susana Velasco. They invited different names from brazilian art milieu to present articles on the recent censorship and conservativism movement which have had attacked the contemporary arts in country since 2017. This is an actual discussion and urgent topic. Brazil is under attack in and outside the art system – and we must fight against this obscure hypocrisy.
