Mãos: 35 anos da Mão Afro-Brasileira Exhibition at MAM São Paulo and Museu Afro Brasil
The exhibition "Mãos: 35 anos da Mão Afro-Brasileira" was presented simultaneously at the Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo (MAM) and the Museu Afro Brasil Emanoel Araujo until March 2024. Curated by Claudinei Roberto da Silva, the show revisited the legacy of the 1988 exhibition "A Mão Afro-Brasileira," which was curated by Emanoel Araujo at MAM during the centenary of the abolition of slavery in Brazil. The 2023-2024 edition featured paintings, prints, photographs, sculptures, and documents by over 30 Afro-Brazilian artists, including Mestre Didi, Rommulo Vieira Conceição, Rosana Paulino, and Rubem Valentim. The exhibition included both a selection from the original 1988 show and a significant update with popular, academic, modern, and contemporary artists.
