Hatred Among Us

Abstract

The article describes and analyzes in a historical context the Experiencias of Flávio de Carvalho (1899–1973) carried out since the first half of the 20th century, as well as presenting connections of those artistic actions with the contemporary cultural and political scene in Brazil, marked by religious interference. The artist is
mentioned in the 11th edition of the Berlin Biennale, of which the author is one of the curators. The exhibition was structured based on the free updating of themes exposed in four “experiences” of FC. The exhibition is spread over four venues (until 11/1/2020), each with its own repertoire: the Anti-church (Kunst -Werke), the Showcase for dissident bodies (the daad), the inverted Museum (Gropius Bau) and the Living Archive (ExRotaprint).
