Due to the current situation, this event will be postponed from 11.12.2021 to 15.01.2022.
During an exhibition tour and talk, Andrea Hinteregger De Mayo, independent art consultant and curator, and Nadine Wietlisbach, director Fotomuseum Winterthur, discuss art from Brazil, photographic practices and the global marketplace.
Andrea Hinteregger De Mayo first worked in the financial sector before entering the art world. She now has many years of experience in the art market and is the director of Latin American art at Mai 36 Galerie in Zurich. In 2020, her first book Nuances of Latin American Art was published, which discusses the complexity of Latin American artistic traditions. Hinteregger De Mayo is also the founder and director of the cultural agency Artrepco and has been a guest lecturer at the University of Zurich since 2012.
The event takes place in German.
Subject to change due to the current situation.
Admission: CHF 10.– (for members and reduced CHF 8.–)
This event takes place in the framework of the exhibition Claudia Andujar – The Yanomami Struggle. For five decades, photographer Claudia Andujar (b. 1931) has dedicated her life and work to the Indigenous Yanomami communities in the Amazon region of Northern Brazil. In the late 1970s, when the community found itself subjected to severe external threats, the Swiss-born photographer, who is based in São Paulo, began fighting for the Yanomami’s rights. Today, Andujar’s activist efforts are as relevant as ever – as is illustrated by current events, such as the ongoing deforestation and environmental destruction caused by mining and ranching, human rights violations in the region or the spread of malaria and COVID-19.
