 Kovak & Vieira Opens Group Exhibition “Kille Invites”




The exhibition celebrated the end of the year's calendar on November 25th with a group show featuring artists from the gallery.


The Kovak & Vieira Gallery presented the exhibition “Kille Invites,” marking the last show of the year. In it, the artist Kille invited eight artists to create, together, original and unique works, made especially for this exhibition. Under Kille's intervention, all the works gain new perspectives in an exhibition that marks a significant moment in the careers of the artists involved, joining forces to show that art breaks down borders and presents new ways of seeing the world. Free of charge, the exhibition also features individual works by Kille with his polymer sculptures and runs until January 30th.


“In this exhibition, I present an artistic journey built not only by my own hands, but by the gestures and entire worlds of eight artists whom I deeply admire. Each work is born from the encounter between my own creative universe and the unique territory of each of them—an encounter of styles, affections, and visual forces that converse with each other,” says Kille. Thus, Bianca Caloi di Grassi seeks in her works a balance between logic and emotions; Ana Spett deconstructs and reconstructs narratives on historical papers; Maria Fernanda Barros investigates geometry, patterns, and repetition; André Mogle presents street art about affection and nature; Jessica Diskin brings pop art with acidic humor; Marcelo Cohen contributes with his talent in pencil and pen drawings; Leandro Spett contributes with humorous paintings; and Maiana Nussbacher participates with her circular paintings and the infinite.

Aécio Neves Assumes  PSDB's Presidency  and Defends Firm Opposition to Lula's Government



The Aécio Neves's  inauguration as president of the national PSDB marked a new phase for the party, with a series of challenges and possibilities in the Brazilian political landscape. The ceremony, held in Brasília-DF, was attended by important figures, such as the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Hugo Motta, Felipe Cecílio, and other political representatives, highlighting the symbolic weight of the change in the party's leadership.

Aécio Neves arrives at the PSDB at a crucial moment for the party and for Brazil. With the Social Democratic Party facing the barrier clause and the need to re-elect its 13 deputies, divided among eight states, the PSDB finds itself at a political crossroads. For the party to remain relevant, it will need to guarantee geographic expansion and reach voters in more states, in addition to keeping its bench intact. This makes Aécio's role even more central, as he assumes the presidency of the party after the departure of Marconi Perillo, who focused on campaign for the Government of the State of Goiás.

In this context, the PSDB presidency under Aécio Neves takes on the contours of a strategy aimed at the reelection of the federal government, while the opposition to the current government, led by Lula, strengthens. The Brazilian political landscape is increasingly polarized, and the imprisonment of Jair Bolsonaro, which generated a climate of tension and uncertainty, can be seen as a strategic move to strengthen the federal government and, at the same time, create a vacuum that could be filled by new names, such as Aécio Neves.

With the PSDB under new leadership, the party's strategy seems to be to present itself as a viable alternative to the current government and the extremism represented by the right, a stance that reflects the electorate's weariness with far-right policies. Aécio positions himself as a possible presidential candidate, reviving some of the main characteristics of the PSDB from the Fernando Henrique Cardoso era. In recent speeches, Aécio has resorted to the old hallmarks of the FHC era, such as the pursuit of fiscal responsibility, the privatization of state-owned companies, and social programs, with a A clear focus on building an agenda that combines economic development with fiscal balance.

Brazil, marked by intense political disputes, has become a "jungle" where the power game is constantly manipulated, with the current government seen by many as a machine of political manipulation, focused on projects and payments that serve its own interests more than the real needs of the population. In this scenario, Aécio Neves emerges as a leader seeking to strengthen the PSDB and position himself as a governing option for Brazil's future.

By assuming command of the PSDB, Aécio not only attempts to consolidate his position as party leader but also positions himself as an important name in future presidential races, given growing popular dissatisfaction with the current government and the rise of figures like Tarcísio de Freitas, who has already been mentioned as a possible presidential alternative but is likely already re-elected as Governor of the State of São Paulo. The pressure on Aécio is great, but he has in his favor political experience and a consolidated base within the PSDB. which could give him the necessary tools to reverse the erosion of the party's image and offer Brazil a new option for the future.

The political moment is delicate, but Aécio Neves' strategy, which stands out for its fierce opposition to the Lula government and the return to the historical principles of the PSDB, seems to indicate that he is willing to fight for the party's leadership and, perhaps, for the presidency of Brazil. The country's political future remains uncertain, but one thing is certain: the movements within the PSDB and the strengthening of Aécio are elements that cannot be ignored in the next elections.

Mayor Ricardo Nunes celebrates the Zero Fare program, which gains new lines to connect leisure and culture in São Paulo.

The city of São Paulo will gain a new mobility option dedicated to leisure and the promotion of cultural life on Sundays. The city hall announced the launch of the “Paulistar” route, composed of three new free bus lines that will operate from 8 am to 7 pm, integrated into the Zero Fare program — already responsible for transporting more than 277 million passengers free of charge since its creation.


With themed routes, the new service aims to facilitate public access to museums, parks, and cultural centers, strengthening urban tourism and promoting a more connected experience between the city's regions.


Paulistar 1 – Culture in Motion
Dedicated to the main cultural venues, the Paulistar 1 line will connect spaces such as the Museum of the Portuguese Language, the Municipal Theater, the Pinacoteca of São Paulo, in addition to passing through traditional neighborhoods such as Liberdade and Bixiga, marked by diversity and the cultural identity of São Paulo.

Paulistar 2 – Parks Route
Focused on nature and well-being, Paulistar 2 will connect some of the city's most important parks. The route includes Ibirapuera Park, Aclimação Park, and Independence Park, where the Ipiranga Museum is located, allowing families and visitors to move more easily between these green spaces.

Paulistar 3 – Leisure and Avenida Paulista
Focusing on urban leisure, Paulistar 3 will depart from Pacaembu and continue to the Avenida Paulista region, with strategic stops near MASP, Casa das Rosas, and Japan House, three iconic points of São Paulo's cultural scene.

The initiative reinforces the city hall's commitment to democratizing access to culture, leisure, and transportation, offering São Paulo residents new ways to experience the city at no cost—and also stimulating local tourism on Sundays.
