Tropicalismo

























Looking forward to attend this seminar with Gilberto Gil, next Tuesday, April 23, at ENS, 45 rue d'Ulm 75005. The former Brazilian Minister of Culture will be speaking about Jean-Paul Sartre's influence in South America and the Tropicalism Movement. Moderated by Annie Cohen-Solal.

The work of Gil's contemporary, the artist Helio Oiticica, and the development of Tropicália is presented in Oiticica in London, an illuminating book I had the pleasure to work on with Guy Brett.
