The Shivering Ground & Other Stories by Sara Barkat (2021)
The Shivering Ground & Other Stories is a National Indie Excellence Awards finalist, a collection of weird fiction with a steampunk aesthetic. In "The Door at the End of the Path" a young girl discovers her parents' secret in their gothic house with a garden behind it... in "Conditions" a man with Frankenstein-ian aspirations gets a visit from his twin sister, who tells him about the disappearance of her ex-lover. "The Eternal In-Between" details a narrator's dream during the plague, while "The Mannequin" explains a medical procedure that involves taking out one's heart. "Brianna" retells Sleeping Beauty with a dark twist, and "Noticing" is post-apocalyptic fiction about a man and an alien creature obsessed with extinct birds, stuck on earth during the end of it all. "Entanglement" tells the story of love between two soldiers, and "The Day Before Tomorrow" tells the story of friendship between two young girls in an ordinary suburb, that is being slowly eaten away by a vastness of char and bones. "It's Already Too Late" is a fatalistic group of people's response to the changes in their world, and "The Shivering Ground" creates a narrative between a guard and their winged captive in a post-war city, intertwined with music. "A Universe Akilter," the collection's only novella, a love story in epistolary format, tells of the meetings, through dreams, between a failed playwright and a young painter who live in different dimensions.

Ninguém teria acreditado by Henrique Alvim Corrêa (2021)
No one would have believed: Alvim Corrêa and 10 Contemporary Artistsʺ: the exhibition takes as its title the first words of the novel The War of the Worlds, by H. G. Wells, at a time when the whole world experiences a situation that seems to be taken from science fiction books: a pandemic. From the shock and confrontation of this unexpected scenario, the exhibition proposes a reflection on the imagery legacy of the Brazilian artist Alvim Corrêa (1876-1910), known for his illustrations for Wellsœ novel, our current moment and its challenges: past and present colonialism; war and destruction; science and fiction; the existence on and off planet Earth; human life and its connection with the non-human; the seemingly inextricable relationship between violence, fear and desire. In addition to presenting an expressive set of works by Alvim Corrêa, the exhibition promotes a dialogue with ten contemporary artists: Alex Cervený, Cabelo, Denilson Baniwa, Fernando Gutiérrez Huanchaco, Guerreiro do Divino Amor, Ilê Sartuzi, Luiz Roque, Rivane Neuenschwander, Runo Lagomarsino, and Wendy Morris; they all help us to think about the complexity of Corrêaœs views and their relevance today.
