ABRE ALAS 17 [com Mery Horta] [seleção e curadoria: Pollyana Quintella, Deri Andrade, Maxwell Alexandre], 2022, A Gentil Carioca, Rio de Janeiro, RJ [vídeo: Rubens Takamine, Luma Lorezon / A Gentil Carioca]
Show Abre Alas
Show Abre Alas consists of an installation with 5 items (2 plaques, 1 Polaroid camera, 1 triptych of photographs and 1 mosaic of photographs) and a performance, which arises from the encounter between the artist/passista [samba dancer] Mery Horta and the artist duo Amador and Jr. Segurança Patrimonial Ltda. The work is based on the intellectually stereotyped idea of the objectification of the female body, which differs from popular knowledge, especially in relation to the "mulata show” [mulata is a pejorative term to refer to a person of mixed African and European ancestry. In Samba culture, the term is subverted by attributing certain samba qualities to a woman] at the samba school. And on the relationship with what is considered a work of art, such as the way it is preserved and guarded by security guards in a museum or gallery.--
