More Nicola Lo Calzo unveils powerful Quilombola memories at Centre d'art Ygrec-ENSAPCAUBERVILLIERS.- Nicola Lo Calzo's exhibition, Nego Fugido, Quilombola memories, offers a sensitive and committed immersion into a process of reaffirming freedom. Every year, in the Quilombola community [1] of Acupe, Brazil, the Nego Fugido takes place: a ritual performance that re-enacts the dehumanization of slavery and the struggle of enslaved subjects for emancipation. Like tableaux vivants, this mise en scène brings to life an embodied memory of oppression and resistance from the point of view of those who had been subjugated. Contrary to the dominant narratives, Nego Fugido constructs a sovereign counter-narrative, which is carried by those whose history has long been denied or erased. Through this practice, the community reappropriates its past, revisits it in the light of the present, and proposes a more complex reading of its colonial heritage, which is still alive in Brazil ...

Alongside contemporaries such as Cindy Sherman and Richard Prince who referenced the iconography of film and advertising, Levine turned her attention instead to the history of art.
