Description
Blind Field: A Critical Perspective on Contemporary Brazil. This book presents an exhibition that explores Brazil through the lens of blindness as a metaphor for alternative modes of knowledge and experience. It features twenty emerging and mid-career artists working in Brazil, who offer a critical perspective on the complexities of contemporary society. Their works examine the intersection of local communities with global structures, and the shift from public spaces to virtual zones. The exhibition highlights the diversity and heterogeneity of Brazilian art, which is both rooted in its local context and connected to a global artistic milieu. The artists' use of blindness as a critical category sheds light on the ways in which perception can be obstructed, yet still illuminate new modes of understanding. By presenting these works, Blind Field offers a nuanced exploration of the complexities of contemporary Brazilian society, and the ways in which art can reflect and shape our understanding of the world.
