"Lita Cerqueira - Portrait d'une artiste"
Baiana no Cortejo, Lita Cerqueira, 1980
The solo show “Lita Cerqueira – Portrait d’une artiste” presents the life of Lita Cerqueira not only as that of a photographer but also her life as a living testimony to the power of perspective, resilience, and the eternal quest for truth and beauty in all its forms. It invites visitors to delve into her remarkable journey, creating a profound and immersive experience. The exhibition highlights a woman who courageously defied obstacles, building a career spanning over 40 years celebrating the beauty of the Brazilian black community, giving the community a voice as well as visual representation. Furthermore, Lita Cerqueira’s work holds significant contemporary importance as it illustrates the breaking of barriers and provides a platform for marginalized voices. In a world where representation is more important than ever, her images serve as a testament to the resilience and strength of the black community in Brazil. By capturing her subjects’ stories, struggles, and triumphs, Lita not only immortalizes their experiences but also amplifies their voices in a society that has historically marginalized them.
