Jonathas de Andrade: Olho da Rua [Out Loud]
In the organizer's words:
Olho da Rua [Out Loud] is the first solo exhibition of the Brazilian artist Jonathas de Andrade in a German institution. In his installations, photographs and videos, he deals with power dynamics and conflicts, particularly in north-eastern Brazil and in Recife, where he lives and works. The consequences of colonialism, slavery and modernist culture on Brazilian society play a decisive role.
At the heart of the exhibition is Andrade's film Olho da Rua [Out Loud] (2022), in which Augusto Boal's Theater of the Oppressed meets the streets of Recife, with the public space appearing as a place of community and agitation. For his film, the artist portrayed a temporary community of homeless people living in the city center of Recife. He invited them to take part in a series of exercises inspired by the Theater of the Oppressed.
