Overview
The exhibition "Máscaras: fetiches e fantasmagorias" (Masks: fetishes and phantasmagorias) brings together paintings, sculptures and installations that stimulate reflection around representations of bodies and objects, characters from art history, customs and social practices.
Curated by Mirtes Marins de Oliveira, the collective exhibition features works by seventeen artists. Organized around intersecting and overlapping axes, the works dialogue with symbols and aim to disorganize, deconstruct and question representations and the purpose of everyday objects. The exhibition also presents concepts of masks, fetishes, and phantasms throughout history.
One of the highlights is the autobiographical short film "Penumbra" by Panmela Castro. The visual artist, activist, graffiti artist and performer recorded nights of loneliness in her studio during the quarantine in 2020, presenting the unfolding of a serious social problem: racism.
