Diálogos Ausentes [Absent Dialogues]
09/30/2017 — 12/10/2017
Galpão Bela Maré, Rio de Janeiro, RJ
The show Diálogos Ausentes [Absent Dialogues], at the Galpão Bela Maré, in Rio de Janeiro, brought together works by 17 creators and groups which portray the multiple facets of black experiences in Brazil, comprising paintings, installations, photo shoots, short films and records of theatre performances and shows. The project is an initiative of Itaú Cultural, and its pre-production phase included a series of debates about the presence of black people in Brazilian art.
Under the curatorship of Diane Lima and Rosana Paulino, the exhibition presented contemporary works by the artists Aline Motta; André Novais Oliveira; Ângelo Flávio; Capulanas Cia de Arte Negra; Dalton Paula; Eneida Sanches; Eustáquio Neves; Fernanda Júlia; Gessica Justino; Herberth Sobral; Juliana Vicente; Larissa Fulana de Tal; NEGR.A Coletivo de Negras Autoras; Renato Felinto; Sérgio Adriano H; Viviane Ferreira; and Yasmin Thainá.
According to the curator Rosana Paulino, DiA?logos Ausentes can play an important role (…) regarding the paltry number of works of art produced by Afro-descendents accepted by cultural circuits, and also in reflecting on their use as a tool for discussing the problems faced by this sector of the population and the means for overcoming such obstacles.
