Melee
Accompanying Paulo Nazareth’s first US museum show at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Miami in 2019, "Melee" presents an engaging and timely look at the artist’s multifarious work and elaborates on how it engages the complex colonial and racial histories of the Americas.

description
An artist who works across mediums, Nazareth uses performance and sculpture to critique the colonial experience and its afterlives in Brazil and the Americas. His durational performances and installations draw from his joint African and Indigenous heritage to highlight marginalized historical legacies, progressive political figures, non-Western worldviews, and potential methods of nonexploitative living and relating. Nazareth’s work assumes a new poignancy in light of the return of repressive political forces and the racial reckoning that our historical moment is demanding.
