BLACK IDENTITY & SLAVERY IN THE ARCHIVES OF THE INSTITUTO MOREIRA SALLES, BRAZIL<\/div>\n
Archivo Instituto Moreira Salles, Brazil<\/div>\n
Various photographers<\/div>\n

This selection of images belonging to various collections of the Instituto Moreira Salles features photographic documentation of the black community in Brazil by seven artists, most of them foreigners. The photographs depict the tropical landscape, the countryside, and its inhabitants. Made using large-format cameras on tripods, the images have an iconic, pictorial, dream-like character.<\/p>\n

Photography arrived early in Brazil. By the late 1860s, it already had keen enthusiasts, including Brazilian emperor Dom Pedro II. On the other hand, the country was one of the very last to abolish slavery in the West. The confluence of these two realities means there is a wide and diverse range of visual records of slavery in the country.<\/p>\n

Whether they appear in casual snapshots or purposely posing as exotic models \u2015in some cases, they are even meant to provide a typology for scientific analysis\u2015 enslaved Afro-Brazilians were photographed in a gamut of situations, sometimes as a part of the scenery and sometimes as the main figures of the tableau.<\/p>\n

In cities, nineteenth-century photographers revealed the rationale and characteristics of urban slavery, working in the streets and documenting everyday characters such as porters, vendors, bootblacks, and barbers, whether they were free or enslaved. Pictures from the countryside display more of a documentarian aesthetic, with their factual records of chores and farm work. The photographs were often posed, precise, embellished: everything in them is in its proper place, reifying an imaginary construct of slavery as something peaceful and unchallenged, although this was clearly a barefaced lie.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, these same photographs also reveal the precarious living conditions of the enslaved, their defiant attitudes and their overseers\u2019 relative permissiveness, at least in the cities. In a sense, the mostly foreign photographers maintained a critical perspective \u2015inspired by the humanist ideas embraced at the time in more educated circles\u2015 and voiced how urgent it was for the country to eradicate slavery as a system of economic production.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":29,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template-proyecto-en.php","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/africamericanos.vistprojects.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/78"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/africamericanos.vistprojects.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/africamericanos.vistprojects.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/africamericanos.vistprojects.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/africamericanos.vistprojects.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/africamericanos.vistprojects.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/78\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1032,"href":"https:\/\/africamericanos.vistprojects.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/78\/revisions\/1032"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/africamericanos.vistprojects.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
