NÃO FOI CABRAL
Ilídio Pinho Auditorium
The annual programme of conferences, concerts, exhibitions and performances returns to the School of Arts on 16 February with Lilia Schwarcz's lecture "Images of whiteness: the presence of absence".
This presentation will look at how, for a long time, an asymmetrical relationship has been imposed on the relationship between whiteness and blackness. Regimes of visibility and invisibility; of presence and absence, of identity and anonymity inscribed in visual forms and documents.
