Ancestral: Afro-Am茅ricas [Estados Unidos e Brasil]
Exhibition that brings together more than 100 works by Afro-descendant artists from Brazil and the United States, has joint curation by Brazilian Ana Beatriz Almeida and American Lauren Haynes, in addition to the artistic direction of Marcello Dantas.
S茫o Paulo, October 2024 鈥� The unprecedented exhibition 鈥淎ncestral: Afro-Americas [United States and Brazil]鈥� addresses the relations between the two countries from the perspective of the African diaspora and how it is present in the visual arts. Held at the FAAP Museum of Brazilian Art, the free exhibition brings together 132 works by great artists from both countries.
With an organic exhibition design, the exhibition, which will be on display from October 29 to January 26, 2025 , offers reflections on the affirmation of the body, the oneiric dimension of dreams, and the claim to space. Through these three axes 鈥� body, dream, and space 鈥� 鈥淎ncestral鈥� promotes an encounter that values 鈥嬧�媡he concept of African-American identity in Brazil and the United States and decolonial art. The exhibition not only pays homage to artists who challenged the brutalities and erasure of colonialism, but also seeks to foster an open dialogue on the impact and relevance of ancestral African roots in their formation and in their social contexts.
