CCBB RJ hosts the largest contemporary art exhibition in Africa

Starting on January 20, 2018, the Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil, in Rio de Janeiro, will host the exhibition Ex Africa , a collection of photographs, paintings, sculptures and interventions that represent the current reality of the continent. There will be works by eighteen artists from eight African countries and two Brazilians organized into four distinct axes: Echoes of History , focused on the critique of colonialism and, above all, slavery; Bodies and Portraits , composed of musical and expressive experiments that seek to explore the aesthetics of features and forms; Urban Drama , a denunciation of the reality of poverty, inequality and gentrification in large African cities; and Musical Explosions , an axis that brings traditional and contemporary African rhythms closer to the public. The Ex Africa exhibition will be at the CCBB until March 26th and admission is free. EX AFRICA EXHIBITION SERVICE
