Mãos: 35 anos da Mão Afro-Brasileira revisits landmark Afro-Brazilian exhibition

The exhibition "Mãos: 35 anos da Mão Afro-Brasileira," curated by Claudinei Roberto da Silva, presents a new viewpoint on the 1988 exhibition "A Mão Afro-Brasileira," which commemorated the 100th anniversary of Brazil's slavery abolition. This event is being held at both MAM São Paulo and Museu Afro Brasil Emanoel Araujo until March 2024. It showcases artworks, including paintings, prints, photographs, sculptures, and documents from more than 30 Afro-Brazilian artists, featuring well-known and contemporary figures like Mestre Didi, Rommulo Vieira Conceição, Rosana Paulino, and Rubem Valentim. The original 1988 exhibition was overseen by Emanoel Araujo, while Claudinei Roberto da Silva serves as a curator, artist, and member of the MAM Arts Commission.
