"Négritude: Brazilian Film" Series
Exit Art
This event has ended.
The Brazil section of the exhibition "Négritude" is created around a program of documentary films and videos. Films are able to capture the face of reality as it is being lived, and Afro-Brazilian expressions of "Négritude" are “alive.” "Négritude" exists in the rhythms of samba, the drums of worshippers of Mina and in revolutionary calls of funk in Rio’ slum. It swirls around in possession and in the minds of geographer Milton Santos. "Négritude" is also alive in the traditions followed by many Brazilians, some of which have already disappeared in its birthplace: Africa. The Brazil section of the "Négritude" exhibition will explore the country’s identity from the point of view of peoples who live in the light of the past, not its shadow. This weekly screening series is curated by Tânia Cypriano.
