Amor: Oi futuro flamengo

Catalog of the exhibition “Amor: Oi futuro flamengo”, Rio de Janeiro, May 10 to July 10, 2016. “Decades of communist rule did little to change Russia’s and Eastern Europe’s centures of paternal — or — chauvinistic — traditions. Many of the artists in the exhibition comment and challenge this history. This is clearly the case of works that explore LGBTQ situations, but also of those that highlight the repetitive fallacies of political histories, exemplified by the victin=ms of ethnic prejudice. Our desire is to champion the politics of love as the love of the stranger, or the unknown or un-comprehensible, by confronting all politics of un-love”. Denise Carvalho
