GALERIE ALEX SERRA

Sowing Memories is an exhibition by Afro-Brazilian artist Nina Franco about the resistance and resilience of women under the Brazilian military dictatorship.

​​
The main photo installation, Anônimas, features a series of found photographs highlighting revolutionary women who either disappeared or were murdered by the State. These women fought in the frontline and suffered the worst tortures during this period, with the majority of evidence having been burned, their truths and the horrors of what Brazilians were forced to endure were carefully concealed. However, the echo of their voices is still very loud to this day.
