Nicola Lo Calzo / Exhibition Nego Fugido, Quilombolas memories @Centre d’art Ygrec – ENSAPC

Nicolas Lo Calzo is pleased to invite you to discover the exhibition “Nego Fugido, Quilombola Memories” at Ygrec – ENSAPC Art Center, a photographic project developed in collaboration with the Nego Fugido Cultural Association as part of his practice-based PhD at CY Cergy Paris University.

This work focuses on Nego Fugido, an Afro-Brazilian cultural and spiritual practice as well as a vital space of consciousness for past and contemporary struggles in Brazil. It forms part of the Kam project, a research initiative launched in 2010 by Nicolas Lo Calzo exploring contemporary memories of resistance to slavery and marronage.

Curated by Ioana Mello within the framework of the France–Brazil Season 2025, the exhibition will subsequently be presented at the Alliance Française of Brasília, the FotoRio festival, and the Afro-Brazilian Museum (MAFRO) in Bahia.
