The exhibition, held at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami in 2019, explored how Nazareth's work engages the complex colonial and racial histories of the Americas. An artist who works across media, Nazareth uses performance and sculpture to critique the colonial experience and its afterlives across the Americas, especially in Brazil. His performances and installations draw from his African and Indigenous heritage to highlight marginalized historical legacies, progressive political figures, non-Western worldviews, and potential methods of non-exploitative living and relating to others. Nazareth's work assumes a new poignancy in light of the racial reckoning that our historical moment demands. This beautifully produced volume contains more than one hundred color illustrations in addition to newly commissioned scholarship. \u003ci\u003ePaulo Nazareth: Melee\u003c\/i\u003e is the first exhaustive catalog of Nazareth's work, solidifying his place as one of today's most important global artists. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hirmer Verlag GmbH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783777437323\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.80h x 8.70w x 0.80d","brand":"Alex Gartenfeld","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40292608901301,"sku":"9783777437323","price":38.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_6bb9f5ef-b664-4856-8a02-77bcc2e2f322.jpg?v=1624332821","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/paulo-nazareth-melee-9783777437323","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
