Voices from Brazil: Making art in troubled times

During its last Residency, Transnational Dialogues recorded the voices of Brazilian artists and political activists. They answer about the role of the margins in the formation of artistic and political practices. This unmediated commentary originates in the current political turbulence that is affecting Brazil, as well as other countries throughout Latin America.

Isabela do Lago is an artist and member of the terreiro Mansu Nangetu in Belém; Clara Ianni is a researcher and artist from São Paulo; Jota Mombaça is a performer, visual artist and researcher from Natal.
