Belojardim Artist in Residence — Camila Sposati
2023
Camila Sposati
This publication, containing texts and images, provides an account of the Belojardim Cycle of Art Exhibitions and Artist in Residence Program, which began in 2017 in a municipality located 180 km from Recife. The program’s third guest artist, for the 2019-2021 edition was Camila Sposati (São Paulo, 1972). Curated by Cristiana Tejo and Kiki Mazzucchelli and produced by Automatica, the aim of the program was to develop a long-term proposal for the Agreste region of the Brazilian State of Pernambuco to encourage discussion of the social and cultural significance of the term Northeast and role the cultural legacy of this region can play in today’s world, by way of artist projects specially commissioned for the local context. This edition initially adopted a hybrid format and included a group show of work by Sposati and fourteen other artists: ALL Souza, Angelik, Déborah Monteiro, Elaine Lima, Gledson Lamartine, Heligeison Feitosa, Jacy Lima, Jurandex, Maéve Oliveira, Marilia Azevedo, PRKILLA, Rodrigo Valença, Soraya Feitoza, and Thalyta Monteiro. Based on the Legislative Theater of Augusto Boal (1996), Bodies of Phonosophy aimed to combine the physical body with the social. The project focused on exploring the relation between the artworks created and the subjects/bodies that created them, as a way of investigating their potential as mediators between different types of subjectivity and the world. The works produced for the project were shared with the public in the form of a digital exhibition put together in partnership with the artist Rudá Cabral.
