A Space for Critical

Paulo Nazareth

Paulo Nazareth is an artist whose work often embodies simple gestures that bring about larger ramifications, conveying an awareness of often ignored issues of immigration, racism, and colonialism in his native Brazil and beyond. While his work may manifest in video, photography, and found objects, a central aspect of his practice lies in cultivating relationships with people he encounters through his journeys—particularly those who remain invisible due to their legal status or are repressed by state structures. Engaging with the figure of the wandering artist, Nazareth challenges assumptions around national identity, cultural history, and human value. In a time of unprecedented exposure, his commitment to representing the unrepresented remains urgent and compelling.
