AGAINST, AGAIN: ART UNDER ATTACK IN BRAZIL

The exhibition «Against, Again: Art Under Attack in Brazil» addresses the present transnational wave of authoritarianism by featuring a number of art practices that have responded to oppression in Brazil. Since the rise of a conservative political movement in the last few years that resulted in the election of a far-right president in 2018, threats and attacks against politicians, activists, intellectuals and artists have skyrocketed.
