Book Description
"A painter, sculptor, and installation artist, María Brito is best known for intricate mixed-media constructions that embody narratives of displacement and loss. ... Her works include large complex installations, self-portraits dense with symbolism, and clay sculptures that combine allegory and caricature in a wry critique of art, politics, and everyday life. Each is an autobiographical statement situated within the artist's profound fluency in the history of Western art. [author], who focuses on Brito's unique interplay of the personal and the universal, highlights her as an artist who challenges, cultural, social, and artistic barriers."--Book jacket.

Performing Hybridity
Author: May JosephPublisher: U of Minnesota Press
ISBN: 9780816630110
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
Amid the modern-day complexities of migration and exile, immigration and repatriation, notions of stable national identity give way to ideas about cultural "hybridity". The authors represented in this volume use different forms of performative writing to question this process, to ask how the production of new political identities destabilizes ideas about gender, sexuality, and the nation in the public sphere. Contributors use forms such as the essay, poem, photography, and case study to examine historically specific cases in which the notion of hybridity recasts our ideas of identity and performance: the struggle for Aboriginal land rights in Australia; Bahian carnival; the creolization and pidginization of language in the Caribbean world; queer videos; and others.
