The curator Alessandra Bergamaschi makes an introduction to the topics that emerge in art in the decade, marked by the intensification of inequalities and geopolitical clashes, and the strengthening of decolonial practices.
Discussing the archive is a cycle of ten meetings that activate the 40-Year Special exhibition and deepen the interpretation of its contents. Artists, curators, researchers and critics who have collaborated or participated in different editions of the event comment on specific periods in its history and video production in the Global South. The debates draw from the exhibition of works from the Videobrasil Historical Collection chosen by the guests, and will be followed by talks addressing essential aspects of each decade represented in the exhibition.
