Após iniciar sua trajetória em março por diversas frentes em Milão, o projeto Almost Blue se desdobra em São Paulo a partir de de abril. Investigando "solidariedades precárias" e o conceito zapatista de pluriverso — um mundo onde cabem muitos mundos —, a exposição propõe uma geografia da instabilidade. Através de gestos que ecoam o absurdo científico de O Alienista, de Machado de Assis, e a lógica espectral de Cabala Bianca, de Gian Dauli, o projeto questiona: que formas de saber emergem quando a recusa não é um desvio, mas parte do método?

Curadoria de Manos @manos.manos.mano, a programação ocupa a cidade em uma constelação de espaços, incluindo a Biblioteca da USP, Espaço Alto e os estúdios de Maíra Dietrich e Thomaz Rosa, apresentando trabalhos de artistas como Rina Oh, Yue Yuan, Andrea Gallotti, Giorgio Cellini, Maíra Dietrich, Stefano De Paolis, Camila Oliveira Fairclough, Rébecca Fairclough Van der Meulen, Alessandro Manfrin, Francesca Brugola, Jaehun Kim, Daniel Lannes, Beatrice Zito e Davide Bertocchi.

O projeto conclui em orlando entre os dias 15 de abril e 15 de maio, com Ryan Gander, Marco Sgarbossa, Thomaz Rosa e A.i.f.

Form a constellation of tensions that question the very nature of how we come together, speak, share, and remain silent.

The line is a curve — a soft deviation — that moves us together from untitleds to self-titleds, from anonymous gestures to authored positions, without ever fully stabilizing. It sketches a geography of instability.

The project unfolds within the Zapatista notion of a pluriverse — a world made of many worlds — and through a series of imagined hypotheses that complicate any linear or singular narrative. It explores epistemologies and lifeways that interrupt universalism, engaging with different ways of relating to knowledge, to existence, and to the invisible infrastructures of relation that hold communities — human and more-than-human — together.

As literary gestures begin to resonate across this inquiry: in O Alienista by Machado de Assis, the promise of scientific classification slips into absurdity, revealing the instability of the very systems that claim to manage life.

These echoes do not stand outside the work; they inhabit its interior, becoming part of the way questions unfold — as in Cabala Bianca by Gian Dauli, where language fractures into recursive patterns, and narrative gives way to a spectral logic: not closure, but reverberation. Like the project itself, it suggests that knowing can be unstable, illegible, and shared without ownership.

Foregrounding buen vivir (collective well-being) and communal interdependence, the project invites practices that are porous, embedded, and attentive. It values interconnection over isolation, and seeks to sketch forms of attention that move across species, agencies, and matter; It becomes possible to imagine; it would like to move like a landscape crossed by signs, without hierarchy — a continuous terrain of gestures, traces, interruptions, and affinities.

What kinds of solidarity are possible when consensus is not given?What forms of knowing emerge when refusal is not a deviation, but part of the method?
