Brandstof x Museumnacht010: MIMOSA

MIMOSA is part of NO DANCING ALLOWED / 2, the last exhibition curated by Bogomir Doringer at Garage Rotterdam. The exhibition explores dance rituals in times of global constraints like the COVID-19 pandemic, ongoing wars, and recent bans on raving and protesting in Italy. The exhibition dives into the historical interplay between body politics and dance, unravelling the threads that connect them and asking for thinking reflections on the moving spirit of dance within this evolving narrative.

The criminalization of funk is the starting point for the artists’ research into the longstanding suppression of Afro-descendant’s artistic expressions in Brazil. Through looking at institutional prejudices — such as an anti-vagrancy law that resulted in the illegality of capoeira and other cultural manifestations — they tell a story of silencing. The project unites artists Mbé, Leyblack Beats and Luiz Felipe Lucas.

Performance starts at 21:00
