PEUP — Dudu Quintanilha

The Brazilian artist Dudu Quintanilha anchors his practice in his city. Living and working in São Paulo, he is one of the founders of Mexa, a project that involves some of the metropolis’s most vulnerable citizens. In Brussels, thanks to a residency of several weeks, he will visit skate parks and community centres, engaging in conversations and inviting individuals he will have got to know to join him in his studio down by the canal. In the wake of this process, a video creates a set of performative acts recorded among these spontaneous ‘actors’.
