Antonio Obá: Rituals of Care

Antonio Obá’s exhibition at Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève presents a deeply introspective and politically charged body of work that interrogates Brazil’s colonial past and its lingering effects on contemporary identity. Through textured paintings, sculptures, and mixed media installations, Obá reimagines religious and historical figures, intertwining personal and collective memory with the complexities of Afro-Brazilian heritage. His practice subverts traditional iconography, revealing hidden tensions between faith, power, and resistance. By engaging with themes of race, sexuality, and historical erasure, Obá’s work fosters a dialogue on identity, belonging, and the resilience of marginalized communities.
