Rosana Paulino challenges colonial images through print and stitching

THE STORY, IN BRIEF

In an interview with Daniela Mayer, Afro-Brazilian artist Rosana Paulino explains how her artist’s book ¿História Natural? challenges colonial representations of Brazil and Black people. The 2016 work combines printmaking, altered expedition photographs and stitching on paper and fabric. Presented by the Vera List Center in New York, her exhibition places that critique of archival images alongside her natural-pigment drawings of figures within seeds.
