Art, Pride, and Decolonisation | Sandro Masai | TEDxAalborg

Sandro talks about his identity and works within the themes of decolonisation, spirituality and afro-futurism, through participatory performances, interactive art installations and action paintings. Sandro Masai is an Afro-Brazilian multimedia artist, mostly known as a performance artist. He holds a bachelor degree of Art and Technology from Aalborg University and a master degree of Interaction Design from Design School Kolding, both in Denmark, where he has lived since 2007. He also has a background in theatre, modern dance and Japanese Butoh dance.
Being an Afro-Brazilian plays a strong role in his artistic practice, as he often works within the themes of decolonisation, afro-futurism, ancestry, collective trauma, spirituality and empathy.
His artworks normally take shape as participatory performances, interactive art installations, and action paintings. He has collaborated with international artists in several countries, such as Brazil, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, England, and Germany.
Currently, he is a guest lecturer at Aalborg University and the University of Bergen, where he teaches ‘Artistic and Academic Methodologies’. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
