The artist from Pará PV DIAS states: “I'm a black person, I have a different relationship with everything, and I started playing in an anarchic way with Afrofuturism, with an Amazonian perspective”. The series “Recounting colonial art through the virtuality of games” is one of the translations of the artist’s speech. There we witness a work that reflects, in the words of PV DIAS, a “contemporary north, with rhythms, visual elements of movements, such as tecnobrega, calypso, brega” – which also plays with elements of the Brazilian past and present that dialogue with the spirit of Afrofuturism in a resounding way. The Series, about colonial violence, traverses and disorganizes the places where the artist's eye is fixed, between the Amazon and the Southeast of Brazil. It is interesting to highlight that the Metropolitan Museum in New York is currently presenting an impactful exhibition in the spirit of Afrofuturism: “Before Yesterday We Could Fly: An Afrofuturist Period Room”. The exhibition recreates – by a collective of artists – Seneca Village, an ancient and important black community that existed around 1850 in what is now Central Park. By the way, Game 4, we dare say, could interact very well with the knives that Paulo Nazareth distributes around the world...

PV DIAS, among other works, participated in the collective exhibition 'Arte Naif: Não Museu a Menos' at Parque Lage, curated by Ulisses Carrilho,, was part of a collective exhibition at the Caixa Preta space, curated by Rafael Bqueer and also exhibited at the Institute Goethe da Bahia, curated by Tiago SantAna.
