AICA podcast with Lisbeth Rebollo Gonçalves

December 26, 2024

The AICA Podcast, created and hosted by Mihaela Ion, is back with its fifth episode, featuring Lisbeth Rebollo Gonçalves the Honorary President of AICA International and former President of AICA International.

The first part of the discussion focuses on the two mandates Lisbeth served as International President of AICA. During her tenure, she worked to enhance global collaboration among member organizations and underscored the importance of art as a critical element of cultural identity and dialogue. Her efforts included prioritizing cross-border partnerships, sharing best practices, and advocating for the recognition of artists and cultural practitioners as essential contributors to societal development.

In this episode, Lisbeth also delves into the role of art mediators in shaping our understanding of art criticism, highlighting how their insights can elevate the audience's experience during curated events. Drawing from her own curatorial experiences, she demonstrates how effective art mediation bridges the gap between artists and viewers, enriching discussions about artworks and fostering deeper appreciation and engagement.

The final part of the podcast centers on the São Paulo Biennial, which took inspiration from the Venice Biennale and aimed to establish Brazil on the international art stage. By emphasizing contemporary art and showcasing both local and international artists, the Biennial has become a key platform for innovation and exchange, reflecting Brazil's socio-political landscape and cultural identity. Lisbeth shares specific historical moments from the São Paulo Biennial, providing unique insights into its evolution and significance.
