Join Mari Rodríguez Binnie in person at Dallas Contemporary as she speaks about her new book, The São Paulo Neo-Avant-Garde: Radical Art and Mass Print Media in Cold War Brazil.

Throughout the 1970s and into the 1980s, during Brazil's military dictatorship, artists shifted their practices to critique the government and its sanitized images of Brazil, its use of torture, and its targeted persecutions. Mari Rodríguez Binnie's The São Paulo Neo-Avant-Garde examines these artworks and their engagement with politics and mainstream art institutions and practices.
