National Thunderbolt

The National Uprising TROVOA is a collective of racialized visual artists and curators belonging to the five Brazilian regions (North, Northeast, Central-West, Southeast and South). So far the uprising has mapped eleven states, being Amazonas, Bahia, Ceará, Espírito Santo, Goiás, Mato Grosso, Maranhão, Pará, Pernambuco, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. Founded in 2017 in the city of Rio de Janeiro, the TROVOA National Uprising was born from the initial concerns of four young women and claims urgency in the discussion about the art system in Brazil with special attention to the visibility and insertion of cis and trans racialized artists in this circuit. We aspire as a collective to highlight our non-hegemonic productions that derive from racial intersections with indigenous, black and Asian artists.
