Brazilian artist Rosana Paulino sutures the wound of slavery. An exhibition at the Museum of Latin American Art in Buenos Aires displays 80 works by the Brazilian, in the first individual exhibition of a black artist at the cultural institution.
Paulino recovered the black faces of her ancestors from the family album. She enlarged them, printed them on fabric and sewed the pieces with visible stitches — as her mother taught her — to form small bags that protect those who wear them, according to the Candomblé belief.
