Künstlergespräch im Rahmen der Ausstellung "Jonathas de Andrade: Olho da Rua [Out Loud]"

In the organizer's words:

At the beginning of the exhibition Olho da Rua [Out Loud], there will be a discussion between Jonathas de Andrade and Merle Radtke, director of the Kunsthalle Münster and curator of the exhibition, which will provide a deeper insight into the artist's work.

In his installations, photographs and videos, Jonathas de Andrade deals with power dynamics and conflicts, particularly in the north-east of Brazil and in Recife. The consequences of colonialism, slavery and modernist culture on Brazilian society play a decisive role here. At the heart of the exhibition is his 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.

The artist talk will be held in English.
