O Sesc Sorocaba receives the 4th edition of Cracks – Arts Triennial. titled A prayer along the way, The exhibition showcases the act of walking as a political, spiritual, and knowledge-building gesture, bringing together artistic, educational, and community practices.
Curated by Luciara Ribeiro, Naine Terena, and Khadyg Fares, the Triennial proposes a careful listening to the territory of Sorocaba, traversing its historical, visual, and social layers.
The title A prayer along the way It unites the concept of "path as prayer," popularized by professor and artist Tadeu Kaingang, with the Andean notion of "Thaki," described by sociologist Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui, and the idea of "Afro-Pindoramic confluences," by quilombola thinker Antônio Bispo dos Santos (Nêgo Bispo), guiding a reconnection with cultural, educational, and memory experiences that articulate body, territory, and social life.
In total, there are 188 works (of which 26 were commissioned) developed from Black, Indigenous, marginalized, and dissident experiences, occupying both the building and spaces in the city, such as the João de Camargo Chapel, the Clube 28 de Setembro, the Pelourinho Monument, and the Monument to the Black Mother.
As in previous editions, Frestas establishes itself as an initiative that decentralizes the contemporary art circuit, recognizing Sorocaba and the interior of São Paulo as a territory of confluence between artistic and community relations.
