Curator Júlia Rebouças assembles MitoMotim exhibition from Videobrasil Historical Archive

Curator Júlia Rebouças organized the exhibition MitoMotim at Galpão VB, on view until July 28, using a 'hacking strategy' to examine Brazil's political moment. With limited preparation time, she focused her research on the Associação Videobrasil Historical Archive, a collection she knows well from previous collaborations. The exhibition's title combines 'myth' and 'mutiny,' referring to a 'mutiny of myth' aimed at deconstructing identity clichés. Rebouças chose to look at the period of Brazil's redemocratization during the 1980s and 1990s, which she believes reflects the current reality. The show also discusses the role of television discourse in political and social issues, a dominant medium of that era. In addition to works from the archive, Rebouças invited artists Artur Barrio, Marilá Dardot, Randolpho Lamonier, Rivane Neuenschwander, Sara Ramo, and Traplev to participate with installations. She describes these artists as important allies who create disruptive and contestatory art, generating both dialogue and contrast within the exhibition.
