[spectre] Barbarian Currents: launches in Ontario and Montréal (Sep 18-22)

[Gabriel Menotti]

Dear all,

I'm very happy to invite you to a series of launches of the anthology
BARBARIAN CURRENTS: HALF A CENTURY OF BRAZILIAN MEDIA ARTS, to take place
in the upcoming weeks in Canada.

Barbarian Currents is a pioneering anthology that covers half a century of
Brazilian media arts through a sociological lens, examining the many
intriguing circumstances that have shaped new forms of cultural and
artistic expression. The chapters, most of which have been translated into
English for the first time, remind us that ‘alternative’ art histories are
simply the flipside of dominant narratives. They encourage us to look
beyond the lens of Western exceptionalism and reframe our understanding of
cultural histories worldwide.

Book is open access and can be downloaded here:

But please come for a panel with editors Gabriel Menotti and German Alfonso
Nunez and a screening program featuring pioneering videos made at
University of São Paulo’s Contemporary Art Museum in the 1970s and
documentaries about Brazilian tactical media from the early 2000s by Lucas
Bambozzi.

Times and dates:

- Toronto: Sep 18 at InterAccess (32 Lisgar St), 6.30pm
- Kingston: Sep 19 at the Isabel Bader Center (390 King St W), 1pm
- Montréal: Sep 22 at Concordia GEM Lab (1250 Rue Guy), 5.30pm

These activities are supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities
Research Council, FAPESP, and Queen’s University.

Best!
Menotti
