Unifor Trajetórias Catalogue

Unifor Trajetórias Catalogue

The catalogue for the Trajectories exhibition, celebrating 40 years of the University of Fortaleza (Unifor), presents a selection of Brazilian art from the Edson Queiroz Foundation curated by Paulo Herkenhoff and Marcelo Campos.

Mirroring the structure of the exhibition, artworks are grouped by movements or themes and each chapter is introduced by a brief essay providing the intellectual context for the visual feast that follows.
The cover features the key visual of the exhibition – Lasar Segall's painting "Amigas" (Friends) – with the gold foil of the exhibition title adding the magic sparkle that makes the catalogue a fitting memento of the exhibition visit.

Fundação Edson Queiroz

Since its inception in 1971 the Fundação Edson Queiroz has been realising social, educational and cultural projects in the north-eastern region of Brazil. Set up by industrialist Edson Queiroz and today presided over by his son Airton Queiroz, the foundation is part of the Edson Queiroz Group – a conglomerate with interests in energy distribution, mineral water and soft drinks, paints, household appliances, agriculture, communication and education.

True to its founder's aim to stimulate social and economic change through education, Fundação Edson Queiroz's most prized project is the Universidade de Fortaleza (Unifor). In addition to the university's graduate and postgraduate education programmes with its 25,000 students, Unifor's Cultural Space has been organizing exhibitions of internationally renowned artists such as Miró, Rembrandt, Rubens and Vik Muniz for more than 20 years.
