Isaac Chong Wai at 22nd Biennial Sesc_Videobrasil (18/10/2023)
Entitled Memory is an Editing Station – a phrase taken from a poem by Waly Salomão – Biennial Sesc_Videobrasil reached its 22nd edition in 2023. Curated by Raphael Fonseca, from Brazil, and Renée Akitelek Mboya, from Kenya, the Biennial also celebrates the fortieth anniversary of Videobrasil, initially devoted to video, and which has expanded over the decades to encompass a broad range of artistic languages. Far beyond these particular "editing stations," the 22nd Biennial seeks works that address collective memories, acts of remembrance and forgetfulness that build historical and social narratives, related to peoples, nations and geographies. The 22nd Biennial Sesc_Videobrasil | 40-Year Special occupies Sesc 24 de Maio between 18 October 2023 and 25 February 2024.
