Symposium | I Can See It All Even with My Eyes Closed: The Life and Art of Madalena Santos Reinbolt (online)


A one-day virtual seminar showcasing new research into Madalena Santos Reinbolt’s artistic practice.   A day of talks and presentations held in both English and Portuguese, is the first large-scale program exploring the life, art, influences, and creative processes of Madalena Santos Reinbolt (Vitória da Conquista, Brazil, 1912–1976, Petrópolis, Brazil). The program will focus on the trajectory of Santos Reinbolt, an Afro-Brazilian painter and embroiderer who migrated in search of employment from rural Northeastern Brazil, where she grew up, to the larger cities of Salvador, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Petrópolis in the second half of the 20th century. She chronicled local landscapes, people, and rituals from both her past and present while witnessing the rapid industrialization of her country in the second half of the 20th century. Looking at Santos Reinbolt’s vibrant depictions of her social, natural, and spiritual environment, speakers will contextualize her practice as an expression of creative freedom and resistance within the complex climate of post-war Brazil.
