Transdisciplinary group of research and direct action focused on racism in the Brazilian society. Formed by: Achiles Luciano, André Montenegro, Cássio Martins, Cibele Lucena, Daniel Lima, Daniel Oliva, Eugênio Lima, Felipe Teixeira, Felipe Brait, Fernando Alabê, Fernando Coster, Fernando Sato, João Nascimento, Julio Dojcsar, Maia Gongora, Majoí Gongora, Marina Novaes, Maurinete Lima, Pedro Guimarães, Roberta Estrela D’Alva, and Will Robson. Exhibitions: Museu de Arte do Rio (2015); Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo (Mexico City, 2014); Living as Form (New York, 2011). The collective is based in São Paulo.
Using huge signs with phrases that are assertive and which spark controversy, such as “Zumbi somos nós” e “Brasil negro salve”, Frente 3 de Fevereiro’s interventions burst into the everyday life of the city and in the mediatic narratives to introduce dissent, incite debate, and resist state violence and racism. The video and the photographs record some of these interventions, in soccer stadiums and in the Ocupação Prestes Maia, in São Paulo, and a flag brings to Galpão VB the challenging question: “Onde estão os negros?” [Where are the blacks?].
