In 2023, Rod RAS took part in Queereres, a group exhibition at Paradoxo Casa Atelier, Rio de Janeiro — his first recorded participation at the venue, to which he would return in 2026 for the Sauna Gay Satanista show.
The year 2023 corresponds, in the artist’s production, to works from the Minotauro de Pirenópolis and Shibari & Flowers series — embroideries in which myth, body and desire intertwine on the canvas, made in metallic and cotton threads. A show gathered under a name that plays on the word “queer” is a natural environment for research rooted in the experience of a gay man. The participations of that year inaugurated a circulation that has not stopped since.
