The exhibition "Women who changed 200 years", was carried out by women about women, through a curatorial team made up of 6 curators from different subjectivities and experiences by curatorial direction of Marina Bortoluzzi and with an intersectional and transversal list of 36 women artists from all over Brazil, including Mônica Ventura, Maré de Matos, Renata Felinto, Keila Sankofa, among many others, collaborating with commissioned or reproduced works, materialized in paintings, illustrations, drawings, sculptures, photographs, embroidery, collage, videos, installations and flags about the active participation of women, around the period
known as Brazilian Independence.

The exhibition, worked in spiral time, aimed to immortalize the narrative that encompasses the protagonism of women who broke social and moral paradigms of the 19th century, and who contributed to the transformation of the last 200 years in Brazil, among them: Hipólita Jacinta de Teixeira de Melo, Bárbara Alencar, Maria Joaquina de Almeida, Madalena Tupinambá, with emphasis on the exhibition for Maria Leopoldina, Maria Quitéria, Maria Felipa and Nísia Floresta. The expography was divided into four sections: Rescue, Relevance & Resumption; Rizoma; Repaint History, and Thoughts.
