Travessias 5 – Emergência
05/06/2017 — 07/08/2017
Galpão Bela Maré, Rio de Janeiro, RJ
The fifth edition of the exhibition Travessias [Crossings], was curated by Moacir dos Anjos and presents work by 16 artists. Travessias is an initiative of the Observatório de Favelas and the producer Automatica, in collaboration with Rua Arquitetos and Redes de Desenvolvimento da Maré. The aim of the project is to stage an exhibition on contemporary art exhibition in the Maré favela complex, annually, together with talks, workshops and educational activities. Under the title Emergência [Emergency], the exhibition makes reference both to the urgency of the times we are living in and the emergence of images and gestures that confront the regressive social forces that persist in Brazil today.
Emergência comprises work produced by 16 artists from different backgrounds and present in a variety of media. In formulating answers to the urgent issues arising in Brazil, the works of these artists play their part in creating more critical and inclusive modes of representing contemporary Brazil.
