OBSTAKLES
For many decades, Willem Oorebeek, a Dutch-born artist living and working in Brussels since the 1990s, has explored how the mass reproduction of images impacts the viewing experience. Through elaborate processes of repetition and superimposition, in a quasi-painterly approach, his work examines forms of representation and the viewer’s possibilities of perception.
PATUÁ/PATOIS
Paulo Nazareth is an artist who creates as he walks. With his self-styled Arte de Preceito (precept art), his artistic practice is rooted in radical displacement and movement, such as crossing borders on foot. His work confronts the interplay of memory, language, and ritual in communities shaped by Afro-Brazilian, Indigenous, and anti-colonial struggles.
