01.01 ARTPLATFORM
Our aim is to reverse ancient slavery trade routes into a cultural exchange circuit promoting fair ways of collecting and consuming art.
Before the limitations regarding the tools for reading and experiencing contemporary art and its relation with worldwide silenced cultures, the 01.01 platform emerges as a project where the art market and its components are committed to create a new global environment.
Our activities comprehend: residencies, exhibitions, acquisition of artwork, art advisory, symposiums, publications and educational programs for art acquisition.

The Yemanjá Festival is a cultural heritage of Salvador, Brazil. It celebrates Yoruba female divinity Yemanjá that arrived in Brazil during the transatlantic slave trade, revered as the sea goddess , every February 2nd. The Festival has started in 1923 and is now in its 102nd edition. Our host, The Rio Vermelho Fisherman’s Colony, has been responsible for holding the Yemanjá festival for over a hundred years. They have sustained Yemanja Festival with their own resources since its beginning. While the festival attracts people from all over the country, the families who maintain it often see little economic return.
Between contemporaneity and tradition, we explore the roots of Brazilian Contemporary art with collectors, curators and artists , evoking a global community from the history of black survival in the latest country abolishing slavery trade.
