About the exhibition
Eu, mestiço / Me, mestizo is part of a wider project by the artist, the point of departure of which was a study entitled “Race and Class in Rural Brazil”, carried out in the 1950s by Columbia University and sponsored by UNESCO. The project has involved three phases. De Andrade presented the first one at Performa NY in 2015 and the second at the SITE Santa Fe exhibition in 2016. The third and final phase, commissioned by the Instituto Moreira Salles (IMS) and realized in 2017, is showing simultaneously at the IMS in São Paulo and at Galleria Continua in San Gimignano.
