On Friday, September 20th at 6pm, join Indigo Arts Alliance September Artists in Residence, Priscila Rezende and Serafim Yssolo in viewing works in progress and a site specific performance piece. Unpacking themes of race, gender and culture Rezende considers how anger can function as a vehicle for change. Born in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, Priscila Rezende is a visual artist with a degree in Fine Arts from Escola Guignard – UEMG. She develops work in multiple languages, with performance as an expressive production in her trajectory. In a cathartic way, she appropriates anger and violence as instruments to confront racism, misogyny, and sexism. Visceral sensation is an outstanding and recurring trait in her work, which seeks to strike the audience with a direct and clear statement. Serafim Segunda Yssolo was born on September 17, 1992, in the city of Luena, capital of the province of Moxico. He studied at the Instituto Médio Industrial de Luanda (IMIL), specializing as a draftsman. He finds inspiration in the attitudes and behaviors of people in society. Through the expressive language of human interactions, he creates an aesthetic of philosophical disciplines. His visual language represents visual manifestations of spiritual, moral, religious, and social values within society. He completed his training in art in 2005, at the Escola Vocacional de Artes Plásticas (EVA), in the municipality of Viana.
