. Tropi-X: Brazilian Art in Canada, 1970s-Now, which brings together more than 70 artworks by 44 artists, runs Nov. 22 through April 19 at Museum London.
The exhibition, the brainchild of Western visual arts professor Alena Robin, is built around a rare collection of 1970s-era works donated to Museum London in 1985 by long-time patrons John and Elizabeth Moore. Robin co-curated Tropi-X with Rodrigo D’Alcântara, a PhD candidate at Concordia University. A curator, researcher and transdisciplinary visual artist working mainly in film and video, D’Alcântara worked closely with the the contemporary Brazilian artists living in Canada, bringing them on board, to make the exhibition current and to ignite a conversation with the past.
Members of the public are invited to the first look of Tropi-X and seven other new exhibitions and installations at Museum London’s Winter Launch Party on Thurs., Nov. 27. Learn more and reserve your spot here.
