Jonathas de Andrade
Based on an almost anthropological process of historical, textual and photographic documentation, the work of Jonathas de Andrade Souza (born 1982 in Maceió, Brazil, lives and works in Recife) comprises conceptual installations that highlight the amnesia affecting some of the social, political, cultural and ideological realities of today's world.

Through photography, video, and installation, Jonathas de Andrade—who represented Brazil at the 59th Venice Biennale in 2022—revisits popular traditions and vernacular imagery to deconstruct visual archetypes and offer a critical reflection on Brazilian and Latin American identity. Tropical hangover and other stories explores themes such as tropical exoticism, the eroticization of the male body, miscegenation, and social and racial inequalities.
