A parábola do progresso exhibition curated by Lisette Lagnado, André Pitol and Yudi Rafael at SESC Pompeia 2023
In cacophony, mythological elements and projected imaginaries are mobilized in the creation of narratives that function as instruments of control over exploratory dynamics.
CACOPHONY
Cacophony investigates with the symbolic and material fragments of South America's pre colonial land, intertwining narratives that uncover the layered voices embedded in its history. Aquatic mythological figures - sourced from 16th century European maritime expansion maps - emerge as central elements, representing bodies lost to the Atlantic. These figures, which marked unexplored territories or served as indicators for controlling maritime routes, reappear in the waters of the South Sea.
