DEATH & LIFE ART RESIDENCY

 The Death & Life Residency

The purpose of this residency is to promote a creative immersion in the town that was the biggest port in Latin America during the global trade of enslaved human trafficking during the 18th and early 19thcenturies. The residency takes place during the 16 days culminating at the end with an understanding of the whole cycle of festivals and collective rituals. The intention is to promote an active dialogue between the land, the architectural memories and humans agency over it.
Within the promotion of  both life experience and formal research, the project aims to explore this counter-necropower during its most intense period with an intergenerational dialogue between three huge masters of African Contemporary Art  and young African Diasporic artists/researchers connected with this logical system. The greatest interest of this residency is to connect knowers of non-hegemonic ethics and aesthetics who are directly affected by colonialism and understand it as a crime against humanity.During the first edition the following artists were part of the Residency: Melvin Edwards, Helen Sebidi , Kapela Paulo, Alberta Whittle, Ana Beatriz Almeida, Sabrina Henry, Moises Patricio and Sekai Machache.
For 2020 artists are still to be selected , if you are an african Brazilian artist or an African artist resident in Brazil we have an open call
