SÃO PAULO-BASED GALERIA LEME ANNOUNCES THE REPRESENTATION OF TIAGO SANT'ANA
Visual artist and doctoral student in Culture and Society at Universidade Federal da Bahia, Tiago presents, in his Works, a dive into the tensions and representations of Afro-Brazilian identities, understanding the dynamics that involve the production of history and memory.
Through his photographs, paintings, objects, installations and performances, Tiago Sant'Ana brings his research closer to the narratives of the popular imagination and also to the violent reality of the slave and post-abolition periods, extolling the discourse of freedom and citizenship, which from colonialism to today it continues to try to be conquered by the black people in Brazil.
