Description: This major monograph that accompanied the exhibition at the Oscar Niemeyer Museum, (junho 1 - 1o  de agosto 2021), seeks to expand access to the ceramic work of Kika Costa (Porto Alegre 1961) and deepen the knowledge about her production, through a vast investigation into the interstices of the artistic form. Kika Costa's exhibition,  Forms & Anjosʺ, is an opportunity for the Oscar Niemeyer Museum audience to see the work of this admirable artist up close, in addition to reaffirming the institution's role as an inclusive space. Includes an important set of works produced by her from 1984 until today. A trajectory that is the result of the combination of talent and determination. They are Kika Costa's angels who speak for themselves and do not leave us indifferent. Whether poetic or introspective, they make us travel within ourselves. Certainly, the exhibition will contribute to broaden the debate on the productions of artists with disabilities..
