Apresentação

...sentir que o mundo está se direcionando para um desastre após o outro, redobra o meu senso de comprometimento com a criação artística que perturbe a complacência.

Coco Fusco

Ao longo de três décadas de investigação intelectual e artística, a obra de Coco Fusco tem se debruçado sobre as complexidades da raça, do colonialismo, do exílio, do gênero, da identidade e da formação de novas sociedades. Artista e escritora notavelmente interdisciplinar, Fusco contribuiu de maneira significativa para os campos da performance, do vídeo, da prática expositiva, da pesquisa de arquivo e da escrita. Sua prática reflete com frequência sobre a existência conceitual e encarnada dentro de estruturas sociopolíticas, explorando em profundidade as representações e seus efeitos na memória cultural.
