Vórtice Cultural is an independent artistic initiative with full curatorial autonomy, dedicated to the training, professional development, institutionalization, and internationalization of artists.

Founded in 2022 and led by artists Leonardo Maciel and Paulo Cibella, Vórtice promotes culture on several fronts and has already worked with more than 400 artists in around 30 exhibitions, establishing itself as a hub for launches, circulation, research, and experimentation.

The Vórtice Festival is Brazil's largest contemporary art event dedicated to desire, the body, and freedom of being in all its forms.

A Vórtice Gallery is the first Brazilian marketplace for contemporary erotic art, expanding the reach of dissident poetics and expressions.

The Vórtice Library preserves a living collection of more than 300 rare art books, encouraging research, creation, and expanding artistic references.

The Vortex Community brings together approximately 200 artists in a dynamic environment of daily exchange, strengthening creative freedom and poetic refinement.
