Igor Simões Archives Highlight Afro-Brazilian Art and Virtual Networks at Mercosul Biennial

The Igor Simões Archives initiative focuses on promoting Afro-Brazilian artistic production through the project "Dos Brasis – Arte e Pensamento Negro." This effort encourages the creation and dissemination of works by Black Brazilian artists and thinkers. Simultaneously, virtual networks and digital frameworks are being explored within the context of the Mercosul Biennial, examining how art circulates through online platforms. These interconnected developments address both the amplification of marginalized voices and the evolving digital landscape of contemporary art in Brazil. The archives serve as a resource for research and engagement with Afro-Brazilian cultural contributions. The Mercosul Biennial provides a significant regional platform for discussing these artistic and theoretical intersections. Together, these activities represent ongoing efforts to diversify art historical narratives and expand access to artistic discourse.
