Associação Cultural Videobrasil

Created especially for the Festival’s 18^th edition, which marked the event’s 30^th anniversary, the Videobrasil on TV series aired exclusively on Sesc TV. The first few programs cover the changes undergone by Videobrasil and the art scene over the past thirty years. Statements intersperse with historic images and artwork excerpts, documenting the past and prompting reflection on the aesthetical modifications of video and its gradual inclusion into the arts system. The last three programs are dedicated to the 18^th Festival’s Southern Panoramas competitive show. They feature curators and artists, including the winners, discussing themes, aesthetic issues and aspects of contemporary art production from the geopolitical South, and situating video within that context. 

The first of three programs focusing on the Southern Panoramas show addresses different ways in which artists and their works articulate the idea of space, exploring themes such as nature, the urban space, architecture, global mobility and ties of belonging.
