SUMMARY:10×10 Salon with Balarama Heller and Anita Goes
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the next 10×10 Salon with Balarama Heller and Anita Goes\, organized in collaboration with Art in Brackets. \n\n\n\nDuring the salon\, guests will visit the Art in Brackets TriBeCa inaugural exhibition which explores the transatlantic artistic exchange between Africa and Brazil\, highlighting Afro‑diasporic visual languages expressed through photography\, painting\, sculpture\, textiles\, and design. \n\n\n\nAnita Goes (b. 1985) is a Brazilian photographer and curator based in New York\, with over a decade of creative presence in the city. She earned her Bachelor’s Degree from Senac\, The Brazilian School of Art and Photography\, and pursued a diploma in Art History at the Museum of Modern Art São Paulo. \n\n\n\nIn 2017\, Anita was invited to join the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst School of Fine Art in Leipzig\, Germany\, as a Resident Artist\, where she lived and honed her craft for a year. In May 2024\, she founded Art Dialogues Magazine\, further solidifying her dedication to art and dialogue within the industry. \n\n\n\nArt Dialogues Magazine\, Issues #3\n\n\n\nArt Dialogues is a magazine with the goal of expanding art dialogues between Brazil and the world. Goes has been living in New York for a decade\, and despite being far from her homeland\, she sought ways to remain connected to Brazil’s artistic production. This led to the idea of founding a magazine that focuses on artists\, going beyond the final artwork. Through conversations\, it explores the thoughts\, inspirations\, and creative processes of a diverse community of collaborators. \n\n\n\nBalarama Heller (b. 1979\, New York) is a New York City-based transmedium visual artist whose work explores the intersection of spirituality\, myth\, ritual\, and science. Working between abstraction and representational spaces\, Heller’s practice reimagines archetypal symbols\, creating a visual language of preverbal awareness and photographic sublimation. Recent group exhibitions include Illuminations\, curated by Dana Karwas at Yale University’s CCAM (2025)\, and Poetic Record\, curated by Deana Lawson and Michael Famighetti at Princeton University (2024). \n\n\n\nBalarama Heller\, Sacred Place (TIS Books\, 2025)\n\n\n\nBalarama Heller’s Sacred Place was created in the predawn hours\, when the veil between the spiritual and material realms is thinnest. It is a deeply personal yet universally resonant pilgrimage exploring faith\, memory\, and spiritual transformation. Born into the Hare Krishna movement in America\, Balarama Heller grew up within a world of devotion\, ritual\, and upheaval—moving through communes\, countercultures\, and moments of both transcendence and disillusionment. Returning to Vrindavan\, India\, the heart of the religion\, Heller\, guided by Joseph Campbell’s idea that sacred places reveal “eternity shining through time\,” crafts an alchemical tapestry of archetypes both ancient and new. Sacred Place sifts through the magnetism forged by millennia of pilgrims—Heller himself among them—seeking to touch the Infinite glimmering through the present. \n\n\n\nArt in Brackets is a women‑owned cultural consultancy that connects artists\, galleries\, and institutions with the creative ecosystem of New York City. Founded in 2022 by Lu Solano and Maria Fernanda Mazzuco\, the organization specializes in cultural translation\, art advising\, residencies\, exhibition production\, and public programs that foster community engagement and meaningful collaborations. \n\n\n\nSpecial thanks to Terra Sancta for the wine sponsorship; helping to bright up this beautiful night!
