Summary

The exhibition "The Other Side" presents close to 30 black and white pictures from photographer Ricardo Teles (b. Porto Alegre, RS, 1936) taken between 2005 and 2010 at various locations in 3 African countries of origin of the Afro-Brazilian population. The photographs rediscover how Africa is linked to Brazil through portray scenes from everyday life, celebrations that unite art and beliefs, portraits of people and historical monuments, such as the "Portal do No Retorno" (Portal of No Return), erected in the early 1990, in the Republic of Benin, in memory of the slaves sent to Brazil. "With a morphology similar to the Arch de Triumph in Paris (but with opposite symbolism) the monumental portal was the last step before the final shipment in slave ships" explains curator Diógenes Moura.
