THE STORY, IN BRIEF
Irini Zervas’s Hyperallergic review examined the Americas Society’s first US solo exhibition of Arthur Bispo do Rosario. Seventy-one works demonstrated how the Afro-Brazilian artist transformed available fabrics, threads and found objects during decades of institutionalisation. Rather than reducing the work to biography, the review attended to banners, miniature objects and garments as intricate systems of memory, spiritual purpose and resistance to the erasure of an individual life.
