Summary:

An artist born in the outskirts of São Paulo, Rosana Paulino investigates in her works the deep and enduring social marks of colonialism, racism and slavery in Brazil, from the perspective of what may have been and still is its greatest victim: black woman This publication gives an account of his main concerns through the reproduction of a large selection of his pieces - pierced and juxtaposed photographs, sutures, engravings, installations, drawings, videos and paintings - and a body of texts that seek to expand and make more complex the reception of your work. With an introduction by María Amalia García, chief curator of Malba, the book includes essays by its editors, Andrea Giunta and Igor Simões - curators of the exhibition - and a conversation between the two of them with Paulino, in addition to a specially commissioned contribution from Kanitra Fletcher , curator of African American and Afrodiasporic art at the National Gallery of Art in Washington. Carefully designed, the volume is completed with the republication of a text by the late Lélia Gonzalez, Brazilian thinker and author of the concept of Africanness, plus a fundamental glossary of terms associated with this concept prepared by curator Weslei Chagas, specialized in art and black thought "Amefricanidad, as a word, as a concept, overcomes territorial, linguistic and ideological limitations and accounts for an intense cultural dynamic that involves complex processes of adaptation, resistance, and reinterpretation. And the creation of new forms: an Afro-centered cultural dynamic. Rosana Paulino's work offers us a map of visual routes and thoughts to poetically elaborate, from sensitive, moving images, an experience that involves history and the present. An experience that is part of Brazil, of America and also of Argentina." (Andrea Giunta).
