A few months ago, the photographer Deana Lawson and her family were driving to an art opening in the Inglewood neighborhood of Los Angeles when Lawson spotted a garage sale out of the corner of her eye. She wanted to pull over, but her 19-year-old son was tired, and he balked. The family passed the sale again on their way back home, and this time, Lawson insisted. When she met an elderly woman tend

Photographer Marcelo Schellini has been exhibiting since May 1 at the MIS (Museum of Image and Sound) a series of portraits of the Muslim community of African origin in Brazil. The “Tarikh al-Brasil” project (history of Brazil, in Arabic) is a record achieved in the ten years that Schellini has accompanied this neglected group. According to the description made by the photographer himself, it is a “visual statement of the visibility and invisibility” of these Muslims in the trajectory of the country.
Reduced to slavery, Muslims of African origin played a fundamental role in the social construction of the country. In 1835, they lead one of the main revolts of the 19th century, the Levante dos Malês. If this episode interests you, dear orientalists, it is worth looking for the fundamental study by researcher João José Reis – “Rebelião Escrava no Brasil” (Companh
First, a few words about William Wiley
Before we plow into the weekend s (and next week s) great art events, I would like to take a moment to remember first-generation UC Davis art faculty William Wiley. Some of my most fun and interesting days at the UC Davis campus were spent with Wiley. He came back to the university in 2014 to present his iconic Gong sculpture to campus. I wrote about that event here. Today, the San Francisco Chronicle published his obituary, which does a great job telling his life story from his days before UC Davis, at UC Davis, and after UC Davis. He was 83, passing away this week after battling Parkinson s disease. There will be more on Wiley later.
