The Banco do Brasil Cultural Center (CCBB) of Rio de Janeiro opened the doors for the exhibition Underdeveloped Art, which proposes a reflection on the brazilian artistic production between the 1930s and 1980s. The show investigates how artists and intellectuals in the country dealt with the idea of "underdevelopment" — a term used after World War II to classify economically vulnerable nations.
Curated by Moacir dos Anjos, she brings together works by more than 20 artists, as well as historical documents, photographs and writings. The selection also includes demonstrations in the fields of literature, cinema, theatre and education, composing an overview of the cultural diversity of the period.
Among the names present are Anna Bella Geiger, Anna Maria Maiolino, Cildo Meireles, Hélio Oiticica, Carolina Maria de Jesus, Elza Soares, Ferreira Gullar, Glauber Rocha, Paulo Freire and Solano Trindade. The works exposed tension the relationship between creative wealth and the scarcity of resources and infrastructure in Brazil at that time, from coastal to inland.
The concept of underdevelopment, central to the exhibition, lasted for about five decades, until it was replaced by new terminologies such as "emerging countries" or "in development". The exhibition proposes, therefore, a critical rereading of this past, highlighting how art was an instrument to question and transform realities.
