Comprising over 100 silkscreen prints, artist รlvaro Barrios's ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜š๐˜ฆ๐˜ข ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜Š๐˜ฉ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜Š๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ๐˜ถ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฃ๐˜ถ๐˜ด (1971/2022) challenges the authority of the colonial map. The pure cyan monochromes refer to the Caribbean Sea, a visual trope that has been repeatedly used to define the region, while the red monochromes surface the histories of violence that are often hidden beneath images of the Caribbean's idyllic landscapes. The prints are suspended from clotheslines and are secured by wooden clothespins, recalling the display of literatura de cordel (cord literature) throughout northeastern Brazil.
