A Função do Arte no Brasil Contemporâneo: Uma conversa entre Rosana Paulino e Lorraine Leu S3E2
During the 2020 Lozano Long Conference, “Black Women’s Intellectual Contributions to the Americas: Perspectives from the Global South” February 20-21,2020, was a transnational and multilingual conversation amongst women who are often excluded from contemporary debates. The range of scholars, artists, and intellectuals engaged in discourse of Blackness that are often removed from Latin American and Black studies. Faculty organizer Lorraine Leu (LLILAS/Spanish and Portuguese) recorded an interview with Afro-Brazilian keynote speaker Rosana Paulino. Rosana Paulino is a visual artist, researcher and educator. She has a doctorate in visual arts from the University of São Paulo. Her work explores themes related to Black womanhood, identity, and the legacy of enslavement. The embodied archive that exists in art is a language of resistance that Paulino uses as a Black woman in contemporary Brazil. Black Brazilians are continuously remaking themselves in order to survive. Paulino art centers Black people as the protagonist of their own narratives, this work is more than intellectual it is personal.
