Coexistence: Oca do Ibiti becomes a gallery with photo exhibitions and models

August 11, 2025

What commitments do we make to regenerating the world we live in? On display at the Oca do Ibiti for an indefinite period, the exhibition "Coexistence - Constructions, Cultivation and Regeneration" invites us to reflect on the connection between human beings and nature, showing how we can coexist with the world around us.

Through the sensitive photographs of Marcio Brigatto and the handmade models of architect Luiz Antônio Saraiva Campos, or Tziu, the exhibition weaves a narrative about the interaction between human beings, their constructions and the regeneration of the natural world, in scenes of life in Vila Mogol and Ibiti Projeto.

"The regeneration of nature also reflects human regeneration. The scenes captured by Marcio dialogue with the organic constructions of Ibiti, marked by simplicity and so well represented by Tziu's models. This encounter between the sophisticated and the ancestral, between the planned and the spontaneous, presents a rich and contrasting universe," says Heliane Machado, who wrote the show's text and worked on the conception of the exhibition alongside Regina Machado and Raquel Salgado, both from the Lagar Arquitetura office, responsible for the exhibition project.

Exhibition celebrates harmony between architecture and nature

At the opening, which took place on August 9, nature was represented by beautiful bromeliads, orchids and other plants from Ibiti Orquídeas, owned by entrepreneur Guilherme Salgado, who runs the Ibiti nursery.

The atmosphere of poetry, mining and many stories was completed with live music from the Olho d'água duo and the screening of the documentary "Lembranças do Mogol", which brings together testimonies from former residents.

With the hard work and dedication of the Ibiti team, in just a few weeks the Oca do Ibiti was transformed into a gallery, adding more content to the multifunctional space, which hosts events and accommodations for groups.
