- Summary:
- Grada Kilomba (born 1968 in Lisbon) is a Portuguese a writer, psychologist, theorist and interdisciplinary artist whose works critically examine memory, trauma, gender, racism and post-colonialism. She uses various formats to express herself ranging from text to scenic reading and performance that mirrors the social, racial and gender power relations, and proposes to recover the place of speech, the black voice, which has been silenced throughout history. This first solo exhibition of Kilomba in Brazil consists of four installations, each presented in a separate room: Ilusões vol. I: (2017) and Ilusions vol. II (2018) are two-channel video installations in wich Kilomba recreates a scenario of the African tradition of storytelling. O dicionário (The dictionary) is a newly developed work specially for this exhibition, a multichannel video installation that that examines the words: denial, guilt, shame, recognition, and reparation. And finally the sculpture Table of Goods (2017) that recalls centuries of deaths of enslaved Africans working on colonial sugar, cacao and coffee plantations.
