In 2024, Rod RAS also joined Ménage 3, a group exhibition at Vórtice Cultural, São Paulo — one of several of the artist’s projects at the venue that year, when Vórtice hosted three of his six exhibition participations.
The title suggests encounters and relationships outside the norm, a field in which Rod RAS’s work moves naturally: gay desire, the multiplicity of the body and queer imagery are the raw material of his embroidery, from Minotauro de Pirenópolis to the Santos series, then in production. They are embroideries that join the delicacy of technique to the force of the subjects, in a production that was born from the self-portrait and expanded into mythical figures and the Brazilian landscape.
