Radical Stories About Love is an exhibition by Panmela Castro at the Museum of Art of Rio, curated by Daniela Labra, with curatorial assistance from Maybel Sulamita and exhibition design by Estúdio Sauá, running from August to November 2024. The exhibition is based on the psychological scientific paper Need to Belong by social psychologists Roy Baumeister and Mark Leary, which discusses belonging as a fundamental human drive. Building on this concept, Panmela presents a series of participatory works or works that, in some way, required the participation of others to exist, creating an artistic space designed to foster interpersonal relationships and satisfy this essential drive.
