Encantadas

11 March - 18 July 2022

Schwules Museum / Berlin, Germany

Encantadas describes the search for original Latin American identities by a young collective with three Brazilian trans curators. A TRANSÄLIEN, Sanni Est and Ué Prazeres present seven artists from the north and northeast of Brazil whose works and narratives of life revolve around mystical cosmovisions. Their audiovisual artworks, sculptures and multimedia installations create an animated space. The play of light and shadow and the use of plants and soil awaken all the visitors’ senses and embody a collective strength.

Curated by: A TRANSÄLIEN, Sanni Est, Ué Prazeres

With: Aoruaura, Borblue, Rastros de Dyógenes, Porca Flor, Sy Gomes, Daniel Lie, Jonas Van
