This event is aimed at people of the Global Majority, Black people and Black diasporic communities, as well as Indigenous communities.
MEZEKERE invites you to explore the current exhibition Anunciação das Ardências by Brazilian artist Gê Viana and immerse yourself in her world of sound, image and collective remembrance. Rooted in the spiritual practices and cultural traditions of the Brazilian region of Maranhão, the exhibition brings together eleven collages, a sculpture, a raffia installation and a newly created sound altar.
At the heart of Anunciação das Ardências is the radiola: a sound body, a place of encounter and a carrier of collective memory. For decades, radiolas have shaped the unique reggae culture of Maranhão. In Gê Viana's work, the sound system becomes an expression of presence and a means of keeping the ritual and musical practices of her home region alive.
