Hans Ulrich Obrist – Brazilian Interviews Vol. 2 brings together 30 interviews covering a wide range of topics, from issues intrinsic to the construction of an artistic lexicon to urgent debates surrounding the formation of a decolonial art circuit, the conquest of subjectivity, and the relevance of indigenous expressions and the inclusion of non-binary thoughts within the cultural system of society.

In his interview with Hans Ulrich Obrist, conducted virtually in August 2020, artist Ayrson Heráclito shares his journey as a creator, teacher, and visual arts curator, reflecting on key projects he has been involved in over recent years. The conversation, which begins on page 191, explores not only the artist’s origins but also his in-depth research and practice focused on the Afro-Atlantic diaspora, Candomblé, Afro-Brazilian philosophies, and issues related to race and identity.
