The Meetings on Art return to the Teatro Piccolo Arsenale to explore some of the key themes of Adriano Pedrosa’s Exhibition.
The work of modernist artists from the Global South demands a radical revision of modernist art histories. Committed to its radical reimagination, this panel explores Modernism beyond Europe, its intersections with colonialism, diasporas, and migration, and how it was reshaped by local and Indigenous perspectives.
Introduction by Sofia Gotti.
