Art Basel Miami, one of the leading global art fairs, had the Cura Project Institute as a social responsibility entity supported by Brazilian curator Adriana Rede's 2018 program.

The theme of the fair this year was Modern and Contemporary art. Among the participants in the fair was visual artist and photographer Vik Muniz, one of the most important Brazilian artists on the world stage. He is currently known for using unusual materials in his works, such as garbage, sugar and chocolate.

The president of Cura, Fernanda Schwyter, participated in the course “The Artistic Vanguards”, the lecture “Women in Art”, as part of the Miami Art Week activities, and also of the visit monitored by the curator, at the Miami Art Basel Fair. We did a short interview with Curator Adriana Rede:1- What is the importance of Art Basel Miami?Miami Art Basel, the largest art fair in the United States, brings together 268 galleries from 34 countries. It is considered the most important fair in the world for the Latin American art market. In 2018, 14 Brazilian galleries participated, with renowned national and international artists. Its importance in the art system is due to the dissemination of thought and educational process through issues addressed in art, both in the past and in our time.2- Why did you support CURA? Or what is the importance of this partnership?Today, political/social issues are part of the contemporary art repertoire and many artists and museum institutions have been involved with specific projects. For me, supporting CURA and its dissemination are a form of engagement, being at the forefront of future trends with the tools I have as a curator.
