MANUELA MOSCOSO, BIENAL DAS AMAZÔNIAS’ CURATOR: “ART CAN HOLD CONTRADICTIONS”
Por María Galarza
The Brazilian city of Belém has the particularity of being located in an estuary: the point where the Amazonian rivers open into the Atlantic. It is there, in a setting traversed by currents of water and of history, that the Bienal das Amazônias takes place, an event that explores the connections between territory, history, and climate, and the ways in which art can become a space to think through those tensions.
