A living and constantly expanding collection, with around 400 titles including photography and art books, exhibition catalogs, and independent publications that explore sexuality, eroticism, and pornography.
Comprising mostly rare and out-of-print works, it also brings together recent releases from Europe, the United States, and Latin America, broadening the dialogue with contemporary issues and poetics.

Origin and (Re)existence
The Vórtice Library Vórtice from the donation of Carlos Hermano Brasil de Almeida's collection (★ Teresina, PI, 1968 – ✝︎ Recife, PE, 2016), who, for three decades, devoted himself to assembling a collection of paintings, sculptures, photographs, postcards, magazines, and books that celebrate the male and gay universe. This collection, expanded by constant contributions from the public and also by titles from our own curatorship, is now consolidated as an important reference center.
Our library is a significant step in broadening aesthetic sensibilities and reaffirms our commitment to valuing multiple narratives in the field of the arts.
