Tiago Sant’Ana
With sugar and whitout affection
Lilia Moritz Schwarcz
In Brazil, shoes were always a way of distinguishing the enslaved ones from free people. The impediment never consisted of any written law, but persisted through the uncontested force of custom.
Baixa dos sapateiros
Clarissa Diniz
The popular trading area of Salvador gained its name of Baixa dos Sapateiros from the shoe making businesses that thrived there. This area gained prominence in the late XIX century Bahian capital through an absolutely perverse and historically neuralgic process for the country's social formation: slavery and its cynical abolition.
White blackness
Roberto Conduru
Refino and Passar em branco, the performances that Tiago Sant’Ana presents with photos and videos in Casa de Purgar have a common element: a black man carries out repetitive actions amid ruined environments.
