From August 1 through September 2, 2022, the 22nd Biennial Sesc_Videobrasil holds an open call for artists. This edition will be held in October 2023, in São Paulo, after being postponed for two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Works in any format and language can be applied by artists and/or collectives born and/or based in countries of the Global South, from the Community of Portuguese-Speaking Countries (CPLP), or residing in them for at least five years, as well as indigenous artists of any nationality.
Its 22nd edition, to be held in 2023 with the title “Memory is an editing station” – a sentence taken from the poem “Open Letter to John Ashbery,” by Waly Salomão (1943–2003). Curated by Raphael Fonseca, from Brazil, and Renée Akitelek Mboya, from Kenya, the Biennial also marks the 40th anniversary of Videobrasil, an event, which over the decades has expanded to the most varied artistic media.
“It is therefore necessary not only to reflect on time and the many conceptions of memory, but also to revisit the importance of video in these four decades”, say the curators.
Founder and artistic director of Videobrasil, who held her first Festival in 1983, Solange Farkas calls attention to the context in which the open call for artists is being held, after more than two years of a pandemic that has left millions dead around the globe:
“Surviving in the face of adversity is necessary, and the Biennial cherishes the expression of different voices, ways of negotiating the historical past and forms of reflecting on image creation today.”
