Tomie Ohtake's work adapted for digital butoh dance performance
A digital butoh dance performance brings the artistic legacy of Tomie Ohtake to the stage. The performance adapts Ohtake's visual art into a contemporary dance format. This event appears within a broader cultural context that includes multiple exhibitions and discussions. The 60th Venice Biennale has announced its participating artists. Aracy Amaral participates in a conversation about the exhibition 'O curso do sol'. The Edson Queiroz Foundation celebrates its 50th anniversary with a show featuring both historical and contemporary works. The exhibition 'Pardo é Papel' explores the formation of a people with epic grandeur. Another exhibition titled 'Histórias Afro-atlânticas' presents plural, diverse, and militant art. A separate project called 'Um rio não existe sozinho' features artists reflecting on belonging and interdependence in the Amazon. The week of August 11-17 includes various highlighted events. A provocative question about art made by Black people is posed: 'Arte feita por negros. Você aceita?'
