“New Power” is an offshoot of “Pardo é Papel”, made to explore the idea of the black community within the established temples for art contemplation: galleries and museums. Understanding contemporary art as an elite field that concentrates great financial and intellectual capital, the series seeks to draw attention of the black community to these spaces that legitimize narratives in the history. The series works with only three basic signs, the black (characters), the white ("white cube" or exhibition space) and the brown (art).
