With an artistic practice that appropriates strategies from documentary and ethnographic research to question the limits between reality, fiction and fable, Virginia de Medeiros talks about her production and her themes, which would take center stage in the field of art in the period, including issues regarding gender and the inequalities in Brazilian urban contexts.
Discussing the archive is a cycle of ten meetings that activate the 40-Year Special exhibition and deepen the interpretation of its contents. Artists, curators, researchers and critics who have collaborated or participated in different editions of the event comment on specific periods in its history and video production in the Global South. The debates draw from the exhibition of works from the Videobrasil Historical Collection chosen by the guests, and will be followed by talks addressing essential aspects of each decade represented in the exhibition.
