Hans Ulrich Obrist: Brazilian Interviews Vol. 2

Hans Ulrich Obrist: Brazilian Interviews Vol. 2 collects 30 interviews conducted by the Swiss curator with artists, anthropologists, musicians, filmmakers and other Brazilian thinkers. Together, they make up a multiple panel of what’s thought and done in the country today. The book’s conversations span subjects intrinsic to the construction of an artistic lexicon, such as the creative process and the role of art in society, and debates around pressing issues such as antiracism, the formation of a decolonial arts circuit and the achievement of subjectivity. This publication continues Hans Ulrich Obrist: Brazilian Interviews Vol. 1, published in 2019, where the curator debated ideas with 20th Century masters and pioneers. In the present volume, the curator is in conversation with artists and thinkers born since 1959 – the year Brasília was built, marking the Brazilian Modernist movement – who developed their work towards the 21st Century, and others, younger still, whose work already developed its own calligraphy.
