Exhibition summary

Foam presents the 6th edition of the Next Level series, featuring artist Jonathas de Andrade. His visually attractive yet critical work highlights less visible communities and addresses social and economic inequality, and unbalanced power relations rooted in Brazil but relevant globally.

Curatorial context

Jonathas de Andrade, based in Brazil's Nordeste region, uses his art to address deep-rooted issues of social, economic, and racial inequality. Collaborating with local communities, including laborers from sugar refineries, deaf-mute individuals, and indigenous women from the Kayapó Menkragnoti territory, he amplifies their voices and challenges skewed global power dynamics. A new work premieres at Foam, featuring the women of Tejucupapo re-enacting a historical battle against Dutch colonizers. The exhibition explores how art can effect change, with curator Hinde Haest reflecting on Andrade's methods. The artist stages social experiments in locations where power dynamics are significant, questioning these relations in Brazil and worldwide. The 'ABC da Cana' typewriter, a browser-based application, is also featured, offering a commentary on illiteracy in rural Brazil.
