Performance and talk – Artesanato Chave and Vilanismo – Money bag activation
On November 29, there will be the performance and talk between Artesanato Chave and Vilanismo. The event will be mediated by Rafa Black, from Vilanismo, and will take place from 2 pm to 4 pm at the Invocations space, on the 2nd floor of the Pavilion.
The performance Money bag activation is a medley of artists from Artesanato Chave, crocheting pouches that will be used in the Pavilion, followed by a conversation moderated by Rafa Black. At the end, the Villains interact with the audience, asking observant people to contribute to the pouch.
Artesanato Chave, formed by Rafael Loirin, Vitor Siqueira, Diego Henrique, Matheus Rodrigues, and Rafael Estevão, became known for producing crochet caps and accessories, even exhibiting their work at major events such as São Paulo Fashion Week. The group works with peripheral fashion beyond clothing: combining the manual art of crochet with peripheral style.
Vilanismo (founded in 2021, São Paulo) is a collective of twelve Black men dedicated to creating spaces of resistance and affirmation within the art circuit. The group values ancestral knowledge, Afro-Indigenous experiences, and collective creation, prioritizing autonomy and sustainable practices. In their work, they reject stereotypes and historical fetishes imposed on Black bodies, subverting normative expectations and celebrating cultural abundance. Vilanismo has participated in events such as Baile do Vilanismo (Edifício Misericórdia, São Paulo) and the conversation-performance Black Masculinities (Instituto Moreira Salles, São Paulo). Current members include Diego Crux, Ramo, Renan Teles, Carinhoso, Guto Oca, Rodrigo Zaim, Rafa Black, Robson Marques, Denis Moreira, and Daniel Ramos.
This participation is supported by The Order of New Arts.
