1
00:00:00,350 –> 00:00:02,752
It’s a very important,
2
00:00:02,752 –> 00:00:05,755
movement because it brings a new continent
3
00:00:05,755 –> 00:00:08,758
in the story, in the discussion,
in the conversation.
4
00:00:09,142 –> 00:00:13,013
And for us,
it was a very interesting process to be
5
00:00:13,613 –> 00:00:18,051
coming here in Brazil
and to interrogate, as curators ourselves
6
00:00:18,051 –> 00:00:23,206
about the situation of the,
women here, Afro-Brazilian women.
7
00:00:23,540 –> 00:00:28,528
So it it enlarged the questions
about how women,
8
00:00:28,528 –> 00:00:32,866
emancipating themselves through art
and how intimate,
9
00:00:32,866 –> 00:00:38,238
personal practices can become something
that becomes public and even political.
10
00:00:38,421 –> 00:00:42,025
So for me personally, it was really,
11
00:00:42,025 –> 00:00:45,628
an adventure that I loved
because I discovered a lot.
12
00:00:45,628 –> 00:00:48,865
I read about Brazil,
I read about women in Brazil,
13
00:00:49,349 –> 00:00:52,786
and I have learned a lot
about the history of the country,
14
00:00:52,786 –> 00:00:54,237
the history of the women.
15
00:00:54,237 –> 00:00:57,307
And it really opened up my, understanding
16
00:00:57,307 –> 00:01:00,960
of the history of slavery,
of emancipation of women.
17
00:01:00,994 –> 00:01:04,080
So, yeah, it was very personally crucial.
18
00:01:04,080 –> 00:01:09,452
And also for the show,
I think it gives a new strong, vision,
19
00:01:09,753 –> 00:01:14,157
which is, something
we had not thought about in 2021
20
00:01:14,157 –> 00:01:17,160
when we did the show in Paris
and when we did it in Africa,
21
00:01:17,460 –> 00:01:20,046
in Abidjan and in Rwanda.
22
00:01:20,046 –> 00:01:23,349
But,
it’s really nourishing and enriching.
23
00:01:23,983 –> 00:01:26,920
contribution of each of us draws something
24
00:01:26,920 –> 00:01:29,923
and we listen to each other,
we learn from each other.
25
00:01:30,223 –> 00:01:33,359
And what we built up is really,
26
00:01:34,277 –> 00:01:36,496
something that we did not expect to be
27
00:01:36,496 –> 00:01:39,816
that, powerful and that impressive.
28
00:01:39,833 –> 00:01:41,417
So, yeah, I think we are.
29
00:01:41,417 –> 00:01:42,519
We had a good dialog.
30
00:01:42,519 –> 00:01:44,287
We had good conversations.
31
00:01:44,287 –> 00:01:47,507
We shared, books we liked.
32
00:01:47,507 –> 00:01:50,560
For example,
we dedicated the show to Coco.
33
00:01:51,010 –> 00:01:54,380
Who was this, director of the museum
in South Africa
34
00:01:54,764 –> 00:02:00,019
sites, Moca, and who was also the curator
of the future, Biennial in Venice.
35
00:02:00,320 –> 00:02:04,090
She died a few months ago,
and we all knew her.
36
00:02:04,808 –> 00:02:07,994
And we thought it’s important
to dedicate the show to her
37
00:02:07,994 –> 00:02:10,997
because she’s very important
in the comprehension of what
38
00:02:11,331 –> 00:02:16,002
African artists can do
in, in, this global scene.
39
00:02:16,269 –> 00:02:18,121
So we decided to,
40
00:02:19,189 –> 00:02:20,507
and it was all of us.
41
00:02:20,507 –> 00:02:23,409
I mean,
it was so easy to just dedicate her, so.
42
00:02:23,409 –> 00:02:23,693
Yeah.
