Paulo Nazareth’s performance and installation-based work often draws upon his joint African and indigenous heritage. His ongoing work Cadernos de Africa (African Notebooks) is presented as part of Journal: a five-year walk he began in 2013 from his home in a favela near Belo Horizonte, going through Brazil and then crossing the entirety of the African continent from Cape Town. His walk-performance represents a slow, real-time inquiry into his experience and that of the individuals he encounters on the way, tracing a subtle matrix of connections that bridge not only people but communities and shared histories.
