We offer two essential courses, completely free of charge, at the Center for Entrepreneurship and Research at the Museum of Sexual Diversity. This initiative was part of our commitment to training and empowering LGBT+ artists.

As part of the 33rd edition of Festival MixBrasil, Vórtice Cultural is responsible for the event's visual arts program. The partnership has given rise to the collective exhibition "A Gente Quer +" (We Want More), which will take place from November 15, 2025, to January 30, 2026, at the Entrepreneurship Center of the Museum of Sexual Diversity.

Galeria TATO, in partnership with Vórtice Cultural, is reviving the DARK ROOM project, created in 2016 and dedicated to uncensored erotic art.

João G. Junior's work is now part of the personal collection of José Ramos, founder of the NGO Impulse — a symbolic gift from us, as a way of thanking him for believing in the power of art as an instrument of transformation!

In this 4th edition of the Vórtice Festival, we collected three times more donations than last year—totaling one and a half tons of food!

João Silvério Trevisan is a writer, filmmaker, screenwriter, translator, and LGBT+ activist, born in 1944 in Ribeirão Bonito (SP). He is one of the pioneers of gay literature in Brazil and a reference in the fight for civil rights. He founded the SOMOS group and the newspaper O Lampião da Esquina, landmarks of the homosexual movement in the 1970s. Author of works such as Devassos no Paraíso, Ana em Veneza, and Pai, Pai, he explores themes such as sexuality, identity, religion, exile, and family relationships. His writing blends fiction, autobiography, and essays, with a strong political and poetic dimension. Recognized with awards such as Jabuti and APCA, Trevisan also worked in marginal cinema and had his works censored during the dictatorship. He is one of the most influential voices in Brazilian LGBT+ culture.

The conversation focused on the theme "Fabulations of Queer Art," and we were able to address important issues and challenges involving artists, curators, and cultural producers.

Vórtice Cultural's editorial proposal was to promote independent publications created by Brazilian artists with themes related to diversity, sexuality, pornography, and fetishes. Our ongoing goal is to offer an inclusive platform that celebrates creativity and artistic freedom, highlighting marginalized voices and promoting relevant and bold debates.

The proposal focused on celebrating diversity as a fundamental characteristic of the city of São Paulo, reviving LGBT+ memory through influential figures who have worked in the capital, addressing discussions relevant to the community in a cross-cutting manner.

In our twenty-first exhibition and third edition of Brazil's largest festival of sexuality in contemporary art, we exceeded our expectations in terms of the number of artists, exhibition space, and media reach.

Thanks to public recognition and hard work, our natural expansion process has now officially reached another space: the art gallery!

We are honored to receive the Guia Gay award for best LGBT exhibition of 2022! Thank you to everyone who voted!

During the installation of the exhibition "Minh'Alma Cativa" at the Cultural Center for Diversity, six works were vandalized and part of the structure was damaged.

Encouraging artistic and academic production in Brazil, generating a collective impact by creating a new environment for research and exchange with an extraordinary set of references, is a significant step in the construction of aesthetic sensibilities and the dissemination of themes that are still treated marginally within the field of arts in our country.

We are very pleased with the response and impact generated by our first exhibition. It has been incredible to welcome so many visitors and meet so many wonderful people in our first few weeks of existence.
