Chico Buarque's Anti-Dictatorship Song Inspires Brazilian Artists' Protest Exhibition in Paris
The exhibition titled 'Apesar de você, amanhã há de ser outro dia' showcases approximately twenty Brazilian artists in France who are voicing their dissent against President Jair Bolsonaro's ultraconservative policies. Curated by Sofía Lanusse and launched by Sandra Hegedüs, it is on display until September 30 at Iván Argote's studio in Pantin, Paris. The showcased works encompass various forms, including painting, sculpture, drawing, music, and performance, featuring artists such as Anna Torres, Bianca Dacosta, and Elian Almeida. Hegedüs highlights the importance of free expression in light of Julio Villani's artistic demonstration at the Brazilian Embassy on May 21, 2020. Additionally, three virtual roundtables will take place on September 26 and 27 on SAM Art Projects' Facebook page. Due to Covid-19, attendees must reserve tickets in advance on weezevent.com and adhere to mask-wearing and social distancing guidelines.
