In 2026, Rod RAS took part in Utopia Cuir – Derivas Depois do Agora, a group exhibition at Espaço UM55, São Paulo. The show places the artist’s work within a context dedicated to queer and cuir perspectives in contemporary art — a context closely aligned with his own trajectory.
Rod RAS’s embroidered production, anchored in self-portraiture, shares with that horizon the idea of imagining other futures for the body and for desire. Between mythology, Brazilian nature and personal memory, his compositions propose narratives of transformation and acceptance — drifts, too, after the now. The year 2026 added up to four participations in group exhibitions, between Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, consolidating a circuit that has been taking shape since 2023.
