Exhibitionistas is a conversational art podcast created by me, visual arts curator and writer, Joana P. R. Neves, as an invitation for everyone to engage with contemporary art. Some episodes are centred around solo exhibitions; others are guest interviews engaging with the real art world beyond sensationalist auction sales and obsolete art review styles; and, finally, I also produce special episodes about chosen art angles.

As an art professional with a 20 year experience in the art world with galleries, museums, artist creative processes, and the art market, I provide access to visual arts from the inside. So, I bring up art theory, art history and professional takes on exhibitions and art-making but, as an art lover, I avoid art jargon. Contemporary visual arts engages with popular culture, life experiences, singular perceptions, as much as with ideas and concepts. Exhibitionistas stands at the intersection of life, theory and art.

I also write essays and short art insights on Substack.

It might be a bit too early at this stage but if you want to support us, it would be much appreciated. Go to our donation and membership page.

Exhibitionistas is a mix of Ben Luke's A Brush With, The White Pube and Sarah Marshall's You're Wrong About, which are huge inspirations for me as a podcast lover. Big fan.

So if you think someone else might enjoy it too, by all means, share it. Don’t forget to rate and follow Exhibitionistas, it seems trivial but it can make a difference. All kinds of support count, and contribute to more investigation and better episodes.

Thanks to all of those who’ve taken a leap of faith and have become our patrons. From a 5 start review to a substantial donation, Exhibitionistas considers you one of those rare unicorns who support independent journalism.

And finally: I’d also love to start a conversation with you. You can now leave comments on Spotify which is great way to know what you want more of or if you’d like to add something to the topic developed, the artist discussed or simply if you want to leave a note of appreciation. It’s a sad world when only the trolls and the bullies interact with journalists and art critics. So why not bring positivity, ideas, and your own perspective to the digital art village.
