Work in progress
“
It is with great pleasure and a deep sense of responsibility that I present and recommend researcher and archive manager Luana Lorena. Since the end of the first semester of 2026, I have relied on the invaluable collaboration of this professional, who has been leading the management of my artistic archive — a collection that brings together more than forty years of my trajectory in photography. Among the other professionals considered for this project, Luana was, without a doubt, the most fitting choice for its realization.

Eustáquio Neves is recognized as a Master of Visual Arts by Funarte.
Eustáquio Neves was recognized as one of the Masters of Visual Arts by Funarte’s 2025 Masters of the Arts Award. The award acknowledges the significance of a career spanning several decades and his contribution to photography, contemporary art, and Brazilian visual culture.
Within the context of managing his archive, this recognition highlights a fundamental dimension of archival work: preserving an archive also means documenting, contextualizing, and valuing the trajectory it embodies. The ongoing documentation of exhibitions, publications, projects, awards, and institutional engagements contributes to building a consistent record of the circulation and recognition of his work over time.
The incorporation of this award into the archive’s documentation therefore forms part of a broader process of preserving memory and recognizing the significance of Eustáquio Neves’s trajectory, helping to ensure that his work remains accessible to research, art history, and future generations.
