Description

Summary

The black presence in Brazilian contemporary art highlights the emergence of racial themes and the complexity of their political use in the artistic environment. In search of references, we have come a long way in this book to understand how the identification of a contemporary Afro-Brazilian artist has taken place. If sensitive black production was denied in Art History, how can we conceptualize Afro-Brazilian art and its creator today? We start from studies on blacks in Brazil, through the World Festivals of Black Arts in the 1960s and 1970s, to the affirmative policies of current exhibition platforms. There is a new artistic landscape in Brazil, which has been forcing the art system to revise concepts and practices, under the influence of political movements. We note a system eager to master the subject and profit from the product, but incapable of confronting its colonizing epistemic bases. Alongside this, artists aware of the political force of black identity, circulating in a professional dynamic still grounded in artistic centers and peripheries.
