THAIS DOMINGUES
I am a highly curious individual with a passion for continuous learning. My professional expertise encompasses a diverse range of tasks, drawing from my background in business, interior design, and curatorial practice. I am known for my proactive approach, swift problemsolving abilities, and a penchant for innovative thinking. Embracing my perfectionist nature, I ensure that every project I oversee is executed to the highest standards.
Professional Experience
-
Odisseia Project – Founder and Curator – July 2021 – current
As the founder of Odisseia, an art project dedicated to representing and professionalizing artists, I have successfully established a platform that allows them the freedom to focus on their creative expression while ensuring their careers are well-organized.
In my role, I am responsible for curating and executing exhibitions, facilitating connections between artists, institutions, museums, and galleries. Additionally, I develop sponsorship proposals for companies, participate in exhibition catalogues, and manage financial aspects.
Through Odisseia's efforts, in 2021, we were honored with a Brazilian prize for cultural projects and social impact. Furthermore, we secured sponsorship from Heineken for our independent exhibitions and hosted four pop-up exhibitions in previously exclusive entertainment venues affected by the pandemic. We aim to make art accessible and a part of people's everyday lives. In all our exhibitions, we always give back to society or the environment.
