Casa São Roque, the former home of the Ramos Pinto family, opened in 2019 after extensive renovation. Its program started with Inventória, a solo exhibition by the Portuguese artist Ana Jotta (J), featuring works from the Peter Meeker Collection. Seven years later, Casa São Roque once again welcomes J (in Portuguese, the letter J is pronounced “Jota”). The artist’s work will occupy the upper floor on a permanent basis, with an opening reception on October 24, 2026 at 4 p.m.
