Its history\, originally linked to Afro-Brazilian dance and music\, is deeply rooted in Brazil’s struggle for Black rights. In its early years\, Ilê faced persecution from both the police and the press\, but it ultimately transformed the Afro-Brazilian community’s relationship with culture\, aesthetics\, body expression\, and self-esteem. Today\, it is widely recognized for its significant cultural and social legacy. \n\n\n\nDandha da Hora has been a member of Ilê Aiyê since she was six years old. She rose to become its lead dancer and has traveled the world with the bloco. Now living in Santa Cruz\, Dandha leads the Sambada group and continues to carry forward this legacy through music\, dance\, and the sharing of knowledge that underpins Afro-Brazilian culture. \n\n\n\nIn this gathering\, Dandha\, accompanied by her musicians\, will share her experiences and insights with the audience. Body\, rhythm\, and orality are the fundamental pillars that have supported the Afro-Brazilian population’s fight for freedom and equity throughout history—a struggle that continues today. \n\n\n\nThe event is part of Explode! Platform’s artwork\, Passagem\, 2024\, currently on view in Seeing through Stone. \n\n\n\nThe Institute of the Arts and Sciences is pleased to participate in Santa Cruz’s First Friday Art Tour. \n\n\n\nImage credit: Dandha da Hora. \n\n\n\n\n\nDandha da Hora\n\n\n\n\n\nDandha da Hora\, born and raised in Salvador\, Bahia\, has been a member of Ilê Aiyê\, one of Brazil’s most important musical and cultural institutions\, since she was 6 years old. A master dancer\, as well as vocalist and percussionist\, Dandha invokes the incredible spirit of Ilê Aiyê and Salvador\, Bahia\, each time she steps onstage. \n\n\n\nAs a lead dancer with Ilê Aiyê\, Dandha toured internationally and has shared the stage with many of Brazil’s most renowned artists such as Caetano Veloso\, Gilberto Gil and Daniela Mercury. In addition to performing with Ilê Aiyê and SambaDá\, Dandha has performed with Casa Samba (New Orleans\, LA)\, SambaDendê and Bateria Alegria (Boulder\, CO)\, Banda Remelexo and Bahia Soul (Bay Area\, CA). \n\n\n\nAlongside a full touring schedule\, Dandha also is a master dance teacher and teaches ongoing dance classes in Santa Cruz and the San Francisco Bay Area\, as well as giving special workshops across the country. Whether she is teaching\, dancing\, singing\, or playing an instrument\, Dandha’s art always reflects her passion for sharing Afro-Brazilian culture\, and she brings a message of hope\, love\, equality and freedom every time she performs.

Dayrit will discuss his works\, Feudal Fields\, 2018 and Feudal Fields II: Tinang\, 2024\, on view in Seeing through Stone\, in the context of his art practice and activism. \n\n\n\nFeudal Fields and Feudal Fields II: Tinang intricately chart contemporary manifestations of colonial dispossession in the Philippines\, when the Spanish claimed state ownership of the land and indentured farmers to feudal landowners. Despite the passing of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program in 1988\, legally-recognized yet still landless agrarian reform beneficiaries continue to struggle for land and rights.  \n\n\n\nFeudal Fields\, Dayrit’s earliest tapestry project\, maps the massacre of farmers protesting on the sugar cane estate at Hacienda Luisita in 2004. Protests in Tinang in June 2022 are the subject of his latest artwork\, Feudal Fields II: Tinang. During that action\, artists\, writers\, and activists joined farmers to participate in an act of collective land cultivation known as bungkalan\, a form of protest in which cash crops are uprooted and replaced with food crops. This led to the arrest of 83 activists\, including the artist.  \n\n\n\nThis event is free and open to the public. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCian Dayrit is an artist whose work investigates notions of space\, power and identity by subverting the workings of institutions such as the museums\, the military and maps. His practice explores legacies of colonialism by responding to the conditions of marginalized communities while encouraging a critical reflection on privileged perspectives. While informed by the experience of colonialism from the perspective of the Philippines\, his work nonetheless defies being tied to a specific position or location. Instead\, his work and research cross over geopolitical and supranational bearings. Dayrit received his BFA at the College of Fine Arts in University of the Philippines where he is currently pursuing a masters in Geography. He is also one of the founding members of Sama-samang Artista Para sa Kilusang Agraryo (SAKA)\, an alliance of cultural workers advocating for land rights and food sovereignty. His work has been presented in solo and group exhibitions internationally such as Liberties Were Taken (2024) at the Blaffer Museum\, Houston; Unravel (2024) Barbican\, London and Stedelijk\, Amsterdam; Stepping Softly on the Earth (2023) Baltic; Machinations (2023) at Reina Sofia\, Madrid among others. Some of his work are part of collections in Lopez Museum and Library\, Manila\, Kadist Foundation\, San Francisco\, Reina Sofia\, Madrid\, Singapore Art Museum\, Singapore\, Muzeum Sztuki\, Lodz\, Art Gallery of Western Australia\, Perth\, Jameel Arts Center\, Dubai\, and Columbus Museum of Art\, Ohio. \n\n\n\n\n\nImage: Cian Dayrit\, Feudal Fields (2018) and Feudal Fields II: Tinang (2024).

The event focuses on two decades of collaborations between social and artistic movements\, highlighting how these partnerships have generated new forms of resistance and political action. \n\n\n\nIn the context of the exhibition\, which brings together 85 artists and collectives from around the world who are engaged in imagining alternatives to prisons and punitive structures\, the lecture investigates the intersection of art and activism as a tool to confront racial and social injustices. Frente 3 de Fevereiro\, one of the featured groups\, uses direct and poetic actions to challenge structural racism in Brazil and connects these struggles to global forms of resistance. By recreating the image of its founder Maurinete Lima through artificial intelligence\, the collective proposes an “Ancestral Intelligence” as a contemporary force for struggle and memory. \n\n\n\nWithin the broader narrative of the exhibition\, which offers a radical vision of justice and community\, the lecture reflects on the power of artistic and cultural legacies as a form of social transformation. Just as the artists in Seeing Through Stone imagine worlds beyond prisons\, Frente 3 de Fevereiro explores new ways of engaging with urban spaces and Afro-Brazilian resistance\, contributing to the creation of a future based on justice and solidarity rather than punishment and control. \n\n\n\nThe panel will include Frente 3 de Fevereiro members\, Daniel Lima\, Eugênio Lima\, and Felipe Teixeira\, in conversation with Wagner Carvalho\, Ismail Farouk\, and Jennifer Lyn Sternad Ponce De León. \n\n\n\nThis is an online event. \n\n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWagner Carvalho\n\n\n\n\n\nWagner Carvalho\, born in Belo Horizonte\, Brazil\, has been working in the tradition of Augusto Boal’s Theatre of the Oppressed since the age of 12.

Having handed in their PhD in food-based artistic practices\, and as an artist deeply invested in urban and spatial inequalities\, Farouk explores how these intersect with colonial and apartheid histories. Through their arts-based research practice\, Farouk investigates how food and land-based art can unsettle colonial ways of being in the world and enact or imagine speculative futures of abundance. Farouk is currently a lecturer in Fine Art at Durban University of Technology and the Director of Art For Humanity\, based in Durban\, South Africa. Their work has been featured in various collections\, publications\, platforms\, and exhibitions globally. By interrogating intersecting modalities and technologies of power that reproduce colonial legacies in the everyday\, Farouk works towards carving out spaces to explore\, discuss\, and perform alternative and hidden archives. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDaniel Lima\n\n\n\n\n\nDaniel Lima is an artist\, curator\, editor\, and researcher.

With three live DJs and a poetic performance\, Afro-diasporic rhythms from the U.S.\, Brazil\, Latin America and the Caribbean all come together in a musical ode to so-called street culture.  \n\n\n\nHip-Hop was born at a party. A block party\, which inevitably brings with it the forces present in a popular party held in a public space: self-representation\, celebration and diversity. A party that appears as a possibility of life in the face of death planned for an entire community of excluded people\, a unique moment of communion. And from that origin\, Hip-Hop culture expanded and connected to millions of young people who faced the exclusions around the world. \n\n\n\nThe party is the strength of the promise\, the kingdom of conferred utopia and the space where everything that exists in social life can change meaning and prolong itself. Reflect\, create\, transform\, free the mind and body to be part of the musical mosaic that street culture provides. Fight for our right to celebrate. \n\n\n\nFrente 3 de Fevereiro is a transdisciplinary research and direct action group focused on racism in Brazilian society. Their approach creates new interpretations and contextualizes data that often reaches the public in a fragmented way through the media.  \n\n\n\nDJ Eugênio LimaHip-Hop\, Afro-Diasporic Brazilian music\, Amefrican Beats\, Soul Music and Brazilian Rare Grooves. \n\n\n\nDJ FatahHip-Hop/R&B\, Reggaeton\, Brazilian Funk and Dembow. \n\n\n\nVJ Daniel Lima \n\n\n\nPhoto by Sérgio Silva. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEugênio Lima\n\n\n\n\n\nEugênio Lima is a Dj\, Actor-Mc\, Researcher of Afro diasporic culture\, founding member of the Núcleo Bartolomeu de Depoimentos da Frente 3 de Fevereiro\, and Director of the Coletivo Legítima Defesa Winner of the Shell Theater Award for Best Music 2020\, for “Terror and Misery in the Third Millennium.” Winner of the Coca Cola/FENSA 2004 award\, for best music\, for the play “Acordei que Sonhava”\, winner of the 2006 Shell Theater Award for Best Music for Frátria Amada Brasil-Pequeno Compendium of Urban Legends” and the 2014 State Governor award with the Núcleo Bartolomeu de Depoimentos for “Antígona Recortada-Contos que Cantam Sobre Pousos Pássaros.

His contribution to the social and political sphere and the arts\, theater\, and human rights activism is invaluable. His life was marked by exile in the United States during the military dictatorship established in Brazil from the 1960s to the 1980s.  \n\n\n\nDue to political and racial persecution during the Getúlio Vargas dictatorship\, he was imprisoned in 1937 in the Casa de Detenção de Sao Paulo (São Paulo House of Detention)\, known as Carandiru\, one of the country’s most emblematic prisons. On this occasion\, he wrote the manuscript Submundo (Underworld)\, which was published as a book in 2023. It is a historically significant document\, as it depicts the punitive and racist mindset of the time\, whose echoes are still felt today. The publication presents the author’s narrative\, as well as the voices of his fellow inmates\, and the creation of the Teatro do Sentenciado (Convicts’ Theater) – the precursor of the Teatro Experimental do Negro (Black Experimental Theater)\, a historic milestone in Brazilian theater. \n\n\n\nFor this webinar\, two key figures in the anti-racist and abolitionist movement in Brazil who also contributed to this important work will participate: Dr. Elisa Larkin Nascimento\, co-founder and director of Ipeafro\, and Dr. Denise Carrascosa\, a prominent anti-prison activist. Professor Gina Dent\, co-director of the Visualizing Abolition program\, will moderate the discussion. \n\n\n\n_________ \n\n\n\nAbdias Nascimento é um dos principais expoentes da luta antirracista e abolicionista no Brasil. Sua contribuição para o campo social e político\, bem como para as artes\, dramaturgia e ativismo pelos direitos humanos\, é inestimável. Sua trajetória foi marcada pelo exílio nos Estados Unidos durante a ditadura civil-militar no Brasil entre as décadas de 1960 e 1980.  \n\n\n\nEm decorrência de perseguição política e racial durante a ditadura de Getúlio Vargas\, foi preso em 1937\, na Casa de Detenção de São Paulo\, conhecida como Carandiru\, um dos presídios mais emblemáticos do país. Foi nesta ocasião que escreveu o manuscrito Submundo\, publicado como livro em 2023. Trata-se de um documento histórico que retrata o pensamento punitivista e racista da época\, ainda presente nos dias de hoje. A publicação apresenta a narrativa do autor\, bem como as vozes de seus companheiros de cárcere\, e a criação do Teatro do Sentenciado – precursor do Teatro Experimental do Negro\, marco histórico da dramaturgia brasileira. \n\n\n\nPara este webinar\, contaremos com a participação de duas figuras fundamentais na luta antirracista e abolicionista no Brasil\, que também contribuíram para esta importante obra: a Dra. Elisa Larkin Nascimento\, cofundadora e diretora do Ipeafro\, e a Dra. e Professora Denise Carrascosa\, importante ativista antiprisional. A conversa será mediada pela professora e Dra. Gina Dent\, codiretora do programa Visualizing Abolition. \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nElisa Larkin Nascimento holds a Ph.D in psychology from the University of São Paulo\, Brazil\, and Master of Arts and Juris Doctor Degrees from the State University of New York\, USA.

She has created an editorial label for the publication of literature by women prisoners\, the first title of which is Firminas em Fuga: poesia? On the subject of abolitionism\, she wrote a doctoral thesis on literature and prison in post-Carandiru Brazil\, defended in 2009 at UFBA and published in 2015 under the title Técnicas e Políticas de Si nas Margens (Techniques and Politics of the Self in the Margins) (Appris\, 2015).

Abolition is relationships.” In this workshop\, participants will work together to imagine models of community care that allow abolition to happen in the here and now. Attendees will walk through how our most powerful sense\, smell\, can act as a tool in bringing visions of abolition to life. From this exploration\, they will also create their own plant-offering to bring home\, as a reminder of how abolition can become a daily practice.  \n\n\n\nThis workshop is open to all; queer and trans aapi are encouraged to attend.

Through an immersive exploration of written and oral texts\, we will actively engage in exercises of reading\, co-translating\, reimagining meanings\, and reinterpreting words\, documenting our processes both orally and in writing. The workshop will challenge us to reconsider translation as an imaginative practice\, a form of study\, re-connection\, and community-building across languages and territories—ultimately\, as a pathway to freedom. We will delve into translation as movement\, act of care\, survival mechanism\, community work\, and means to reimagine and reshape the world. \n\n\n\nThis three-day workshop runs October 22-24\, 5:30-7:30pm each day\, and is by invitation only.

This walk-through will touch on themes such as the intersection of carceral institutions and climate change and the profound impact of oil and gas infrastructure on Louisiana’s wetlands.  \n\n\n\nPoetically traversing the extractive history of Louisiana—from settler colonialism to slavery to prisons\, and the fossil fuel industry—The holes in the earth mirror the holes in our souls (and from them we can grow trees) creatively choreographs these intersecting histories and their ecological impacts. This immersive video installation consists of two video projections and an audio track. The artist merges satellite imagery of Louisiana wetlands’ carceral institutions and its oil and gas infrastructure with photographs and video recorded from vehicles traveling through the region. \n\n\n\nFree and open to the public. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImani Jacqueline Brown is an artist\, activist\, and architectural researcher from New Orleans\, based in London. Her work investigates the ‘continuum of extractivism’\, which spans from settler-colonial genocide and slavery to fossil fuel production\, gentrification\, and police and corporate impunity. In exposing the layers of violence and resistance that form the foundations of US society\, she opens up space to imagine paths to ecological reparations. \n\n\n\n\n\nImage: Imani Jacqueline Brown\, The holes in the earth mirror the holes in our souls (and from them we can grow trees)\, 2023. Media installation with soundscape “Enbas” by Les Cenelles.

In addition to speaking about her own work in the exhibition\, And The State of Emergency Is Also Always a State of Emergence (2017-ongoing)\, Ngô will reflect on a selection of other works in the exhibition as they relate to her own installation and practice. Ngô’s walkthrough will touch on themes such as refugee epistemologies and migration\, national and personal archives\, architecture and confinement\, and intergenerational memory. \n\n\n\nFor the installation And the State of Emergency Is Also Always a State of Emergence\, Ngô created a six-by-four-by-eleven-foot bunk bed frame\, similar to those found in crowded rooms of jails\, detention centers\, and prisons across the globe\, out of reinforced paper. This precarious architectural sculpture is based on the stories told by Ngô’s siblings about her family’s nearly two-year-long stay\, when they were children\, in a Hong Kong detention center. \n\n\n\nFree and open to the public. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHương Ngô is an interdisciplinary artist and educator. Her work attends to refugee epistemologies\, expanding concepts of time and knowledge to those that are generational\, ecological\, ruptured\, and reconstructed. Often beginning with research in national and personal archives\, she realizes her work through installation\, works on paper\, and performance. Ngô’s artistic practice has been recognized and exhibited at institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York\, MCA Chicago\, the New Museum in New York\, and the Renaissance Society in Chicago\, among others. She was awarded the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Grant in Vietnam in 2016 and was featured in the Prague Biennial in 2005 and Prospect.5 Triennial in 2021. Ngô is currently visiting lecturer at University of California Santa Barbara. \n\n\n\n\n\nImages: (Top Image) Hương Ngô\, And The State of Emergency Is Also Always a State of Emergence\, 2017-ongoing.
