As part of the Brazil-France Season 2025, Nego Fugido by Nicola Lo Calzo is a travelling monographic exhibition presented at the Ygrec-ENSAPC Art Centre in Aubervilliers, the Alliance Française in Brasilia, the Photo Rio festival and now at MAFRA in Salvador de Bahia. The exhibition offers a sensitive immersion in a celebration of freedom, where images become a means of resistance and reappropriation. Produced in the Quilombola community of Acupe, in Bahia, Brazil, the annual staging of Nego Fugido combines ritual and performance to reconstruct, from the perspective of the descendants of slaves, the struggle for black emancipation.
