Encruzilhada: Museu de Arte Moderna, Bahia
a meeting of artists from different historical, social and racial contexts that articulate tensions in the production of visualities, whose centrality of their creative interests is activated from the universe of Afro-diasporic cultures.
The exhibition "Encruzilhada" (Crossroads), according to the curator Ayrson Heráclito, "is a meeting of artists from different historical, social and racial contexts that articulate tensions in the production of visualities, whose centrality of their creative interests is activated from the universe of Afro-diasporic cultures".
For Daniel Rangel, who signs the curatorship alongside Heráclito, "the proposal of the exhibition brings a material-spiritual-space-time connection that seeks to reveal the power of the African presence in Brazilian artistic production, from modernism to the contemporary".*
For the show, the artist Panmela Castro produced the work "Ana Cláudia Lemos Pacheco, Residence Series (Salvador)". The Bahian teacher, author of the book "Black Woman: affectivity and loneliness" is one of the artist's main references and inspired the creation of the painting series Black Women Don't Receive Flowers. The canvas was donated to the collection of the Museum of Modern Art of Bahia.
