Rosângela Rennó's Major Anthological Exhibition Opens at Estação Pinacoteca
Opening on October 2 at Estação Pinacoteca, Rosângela Rennó's exhibition 'Pequena Ecologia da Imagem' is curated by Ana Maria Maia. This showcase, which spans 35 years, delves into memory and photography to interrogate power dynamics. It highlights significant series such as 'Vermelha (Militares),' 'Vulgo,' and 'Apagamentos,' along with early pieces and recent research like 'Eaux de Colonies' (2019). Rennó, who initiated her photography journey in 1987 after her studies at Escola Guignard, characterizes the exhibition as expansive yet not a retrospective. The title embodies her poetic essence, centering on personal images and overlooked narratives, and the exhibition comprises three sections that tackle individual, collective, and political themes, with Rennó underscoring the political dimension of her art.
