Title
Between movie theaters, galleries and museums: race, art and images and their circulations in cities
Area of Inquiry and Research
Art and Reception
Description
Between Cinemas, Galleries and Museums: Race, Art, Images and their Circulation in the Cities is a multidisciplinary research project that intends to approach, from anthropology (urban, afro-brazilian, and visual) and the dialogue with the fields of
cinema ,visual arts and architecture, to observe and follow black artists, their transits and flows in cultural and artistic spaces of the cities, in exhibitions and festivals of art and cinema, and perceive how their trajectories are built through the circuits of the arts .I am interested in reflecting on the processes and circulation of black artists, producers and curators in art circuits, galleries, and museums, as well as in film shows and festivals. I have arrived at this intersection after ten years of research in the fields of cinema and city and black cinema and I have perceived, in this sense, how in some proposals, projects and cases, the borders between artistic fields fluctuate, are dislocated, stained (blurred), or suspended. The work of this project takes place in the research, in dialogue with the Extension Program Museu Afrodigital Rio de Janeiro, in a larger project called "Blurring Borders: Ongoing intersectionalities, political disputes
and narratives between visualities, performances, interventions and urban movements".
