painting On the sober concrete walls of Galeria Leme They portray everyday scenes of life in the Brazilian Amazon: the interiors of itinerant circus tents and modest restaurants vibrant facades decorated with Christmas lights and drapes that cover sofas or divide house rooms as doors Braga is the most feted photographer from the region having spent a 50-year career depicting local life through his characteristically candid documentary photos and early black-and-white studio portraits a term born out of Renaissance debates about painting the exhibition stages a transgenerational – and unnecessary – dialogue with two geometric paintings an icon of the second generation of Brazilian modernism and one by the contemporary artist Paulo Pasta Banquinhos no Guamá (1982) by Braga is a one-metre-square grainy Fujichrome photograph depicting the red-and-white barstools and tables ubiquitous to the region captured arranged on a peeling blue deck leaning over – the title tells us – the Guamá River Referencing the colours and the diagonal of the Pará state flags it is typical of the interaction between colour repetition and rhythm foregrounded in this show a smallscale tempera painting depicting little flags the intention seems to demonstrate the sophistication of vernacular aesthetic systems when confronted with the painter’s ‘high-art’ modernism A similar juxtaposition occurs in the placement of Braga’s Rapaz e cão em Carananduba (1990) alongside Pasta’s Untitled (2021) a large vertical oil painting with minimal geometrical shapes in pastel tones that suggest a facade with an open door and a high window wearing nothing but shorts and a gold chain is shown with a skinny dog at his bare feet the animal resting dolefully against a wall covered in pink floral wallpaper This intimate universe beautifully captures the languid atmosphere of Mosqueiro Island humid air in the blue-painted wooden table the boy unpretentiously leans against a palette echoing that of Pasta’s and matched by the colour fields formed by the door frame and a wall that Volpi and Pasta reiterates the obsolescence of visualidade amazônica (Amazonian visuality) a harmful concept pushed by thinkers such as art critic Paulo Herkenhoff from 1982 until this day in an encyclopaedic attempt to systematise Brazilian art Despite being fundamental to the valorisation of the art production of the region between the 1970s and 80s the concept is used to generically label the practices of Amazonian artists crushing their multiple subjectivities and suggesting they are unable to relate to artistic debates in other geographies Braga’s work effortlessly proves otherwise and yet the inclusion of the painted works suggests a lack of confidence on the part of those who conceived the exhibition – Braga is a colourist without the need of the crutches provided by the paintings a city lying at the mouth of the Amazon River Braga has also faced criticism from regional artists and thinkers not being from an Indigenous community or social minority his art exploits images of traditional and mixed-heritage groups such as the boy from Rapaz e cão em Carananduba and the melancholic woman in Amanhecer no Rio Amazonas (2022) lying in a scarlet hammock inside a boat bathed in artificial blue light The works in Colorista underscore how portraiture of local people is far from being the primary subject of his practice but instead his interest lies in showing the broader the show honours the solidity of the visual traditions of the Amazon and their resistance to the fast-paced changes imposed by postcolonialism and perhaps in contrast to the apparent curatorial intentions Colorista repositions Braga’s work using an urgent reaffirming the autonomy of photography in relation

They were small-scale producers of pão de queijo, dimension stones… I was the only one in agribusiness. We visited supermarkets, buyers, and a free zone. Apex-Brasil (Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency) organized the visit and seeing the incentives they offer and the reality of the market was a very interesting experience,” Nogueira told ANBA she met a family-run business that was interested in buying her product “They’d never seen the kind of red lychee that we have here All they knew was the yellow lychee that’s grown in the wild There’s no nutritional research on it or anything This contact gave us plenty of information to crack open this market and we’re selling to them during this crop,” she said Nogueira decided to create a brand for her international sales: the yet-to-be-launched Red Lychee We have over 5,000 trees planted and we expect to see up to 200 tonnes Nogueira explained that the farm features soil As Olhos

worth of fruit per week for this particular buyer but we’re looking for more partners,” she said and are given out even on occasions such as weddings “We’re working on special packaging for this market,” she revealed the farm is expecting to ship abroad about 30% of output we’ll sell via Ceagesp (the São Paulo city produce market) we’re considering selling direct to supermarket chains in Brazil,” she said the Olhos D’Água farm didn’t start selling lychess until 2014 “A lychee tree will take an average of five years before it will start bearing an amount of fruit worth selling,” she explained The microclimate in the Mateus Leme area of Minas Gerais is very well-suited to growing sweet red fruits You need that in order to stress the plant into flowering,” she said Nogueira said she’s optimistic about going global and I see great potential in the foreign market and we’re sure that it’ll be a hit,” she concluded The Gulf country has deposited its instrument of acceptance of
