Multiple Brazilian exhibitions explore decolonial themes and Afro-Brazilian art
The exhibition "Necrobrasiliana," curated by Moacir dos Anjos, opens in Recife on Thursday, 15. This show examines the decolonial turn in Brazilian art, challenging the complicity between aesthetic devices and colonial structures. Simultaneously, the Museu de Arte do Rio (MAR) presents a solo exhibition by Jarbas Lopes alongside the show "Enciclopédia Negra." The latter is also described as a collaborative publication involving many hands, minds, and lives. In São Paulo, the Museu de Arte Contemporânea da Universidade de São Paulo (MAC USP) and the Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo (MAM-SP) jointly present the exhibition "Zona da Mata." Meanwhile, the Projeto Expresso enters its final week of public visitation. These concurrent events highlight a significant focus on Afro-Brazilian art, Black art, and decolonial discourse within the Brazilian contemporary art scene, positioning these themes at the forefront of current artistic and curatorial practice.
