Nise da Silveira and the Artists of Engenho de Dentro

Nise da Silveira (b. 1905, Maceió; d. 1999, Rio de Janeiro) founded, in 1946, the first occupational therapy workshop for mental patients in Brazil. In 1952 she opened the Museum of Images of the Unconscious to collect and preserve works produced by patients. This pioneering work, which she developed with the support and enthusiasm of three of Brazil’s most talented visual artists (Almir Mavignier, Ivan Serpa, and Abraham Palatnik) and the art critic Mário Pedrosa, almost immediately gained attention not only from professionals in the field but also from artists and the general public. Throughout her illustrious career, Dr. da Silveira developed an important relationship with Carl Jung, whose important work on symbols she championed in Brazil. Luiz Carlos de Mello began working as Nise da Silveira’s collaborator in 1974. Since then, he has been developing, organizing, and publicizing the collection of the Museum of Images from the Unconscious (MIU) and the research carried out there. As director and curator of the MIU, he has organized various exhibitions of a scientific nature, both in the museum itself and in major cities of Brazil. He has directed fifteen audiovisual documentaries that synthesize some of the principal research carried out at the museum. These documentaries are presented at universities and cultural institutions accompanied by lectures and debates on the scientific study of the process of psychosis.
