THE GLOBAL RISE OF THE RADICAL RIGHT meets the CRESTING WAVES OF ART & PROTEST with particular potency on the streets of Brazil as the world waits between elections that will decide the fate of Bolsonaro’s regime—and potentially much more—in this moment of tension and crisis. How did Brazil come to this juncture? What is it like to make art and protest, and what does the view look like from the ground in São Paulo and other active clusters of creative resistance throughout the country today? What is at stake in the coming second round of Brazil’s elections? Psychoanalyst, critic, and political philosopher DOUGLAS RODRIGUES BARROS joins artist, activist, and editor FABIANA GIBIM, founder of the independent anarchist publishing house Sobinfluencia, to discuss the history and prospects of Brazil teetering (like the rest of us) on the brink of a brave and uncertain new world.
Proudly sponsored by Beinecke Library, the Postwar Culture Working Group, and the Whitney Humanities Center. For more information about the ART & PROTEST SERIES or to join the mailing list, write to kevin.repp@yale.edu
