{"uid":"4TArFUyttBGT5bqB","type":"curator","tags":[],"group":"yes","group_name":null,"project_title":"FORGED MULTICULTURALISM","summary":"Brazil is celebrated as a multicultural nation, with a hugely diverse heritage. From the 17th Century until the end of the slave trafficking era, circa 4,8 million Africans berthed in the country against their will. Many were Bantos, an ethnic group from the Centre-south and Northeast Africa, and 'Sudaneses' from multiple central and western regions of the African continent.\nA grim side of this history is rarely told and unknown to many: just when slavery was being abolished in the 1880s, rather than looking to repair centuries of injustice and coercion, horrific European eugenics theories propagated in Brazil perpetuating discrimination and inequality of black people.\nThe German word Vergangenheitsbew\u00e4ltigung \u2013 \u2018the overcoming of the past\u2019 - suggests that grappling with the past is necessary to move beyond it. FORGED MULTICULTURALISM explores how African artists and artists from the African Diaspora in Brazil have come to reframe their heritage by placing the consequences of slavery and highlighting their contributions to society at the very centre of the international narrative.\nThe show offers paintings, videos, installations and performances by artists whose personal narratives and works deal with these aspects of Brazil\u2019s society and its perception of its own making. Complementing the exhibition are Harvard University Implicit Association Tests in which visitors can obtain self-understanding of their attitude or stereotype relative to dark-skin people and African origin.","space":"The show is tailored to the available venues and budget. \nArtists contribute with spatial or time-based artworks shown physically and online, a written text for a publication and a public talk. Some performances consist of instructions for the public enact them at their own time in the exhibition space or remotely.\nITAs are available on tablets in the exhibition space and online. Visitors are encouraged to write their reflections of their results on the walls or a paper to stick on the wall.","artists_proposal":"Modesto Brocos (SP), A Reden\u00e7\u00e3o de Cam,1895\nAfrican Diaspora in Brazil:\nCharlene Bicalho(BR) https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/bicalho\nRenata Felinto(BR) https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/rfelinto\nColetivo Leg\u00edtima Defesa(BR) https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/legitimadef\nLidia Lisboa(BR) https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/lolisboa\nMichelle Mattiuzzi(BR) https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/musamat\nPriscila Rezende(BR) https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/pzende \nRosana Paulino(BR) https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/rpaulino\nG\u00ea Viana(BR) https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/gviana\nAfrican Artists:\nSerge Diakota(CG) https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/diakota\nGrada Quilomba(PT) http:\/\/gradakilomba.com\/\nKiluanji Kia Henda(AO) https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/kkhenda\nEddy Kamuanga Ilunga(CG) https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/ekilunga\nIbrahim Mahama(GH) https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/ibmahama\nNike Davies-Okundaye(NI) https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/ndokundaye\nP\u00e9ju Alatise(NI) https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/palatise\nNeo Muyanga(SA) & Bianca Turner(BR) http:\/\/www.bienal.org.br\/agenda\/7318\nImplicit Association Tests(IAT) Race & Skin-tone https:\/\/implicit.harvard.edu\/implicit\/takeatest.html","members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rWOjDY8mASw","audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":"https:\/\/www.goodman-gallery.art\/grada-kilomba","images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"fileCount":10,"names":"Lavinia","surname":"Freitas","email":"freitas.lavinia@googlemail.com","dni_type":"Other","dni":"RG28293705","address":"Waldstrasse 52, 04105","city":"Leipzig","nacionality":"Brazilian","country_id":"61","birthdate":"1978-06-15T23:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1978-06-15T23:00:00.000Z","telephone":"004917690925454","web":"https:\/\/apertoarts.carrd.co\/"}
