The book addresses the performance Parangolé by Brazilian artist Hélio Oiticica within conceptual art and as a synchronic movement of the international neo-avant-garde. The speakers will discuss this action that vindicates art power as a poetic-political claim through atavistic references and ancestral rituals: residual memories that appropriate the favela and the carnival, and that seek to manifest the link with the corporal and nature rhythms through dance, representing as well, a critique of the “status quo” of the time.
