Masculinities in Dialog
05/13/2021 — 06/12/2021
Galpão Bela Maré, Rio de Janeiro, RJ
The exhibition Masculinidades em Diálogo [Masculinities in Dialog] is the product of the work of twelve artists who formed part of the second class of Elã – Escola Livre de Artes [Elã – Free Arts School].
The 2020/2021 edition, with the theme Building other masculinities, organized in partnership with the GlobalGRACE Project in Brazil, selected artists between 18 and 35 years old, from favelas and peripheral communities, who work with different languages, media and poetics, to carryout investigations into masculinities based on themes such as gender, race and territorial inequalities. The program adopted a hybrid format with online and face-to-face meetings in the shed’s space.
Three training cycles were held: preparatory conversations, linked to the theme concepts, which addressed the subject “building other masculinities” (Esquenta ELÃ, accessible to the public on YouTube); research laboratories based around the themes paths, bodies and materialities; and, finally, the agencies theme, oriented by discussions and monitoring of the production of the final works and exhibition.
The exhibition includes original productions conceived and executed during the training process. A 360o visit has been produced and can be viewed online until September 2021.
