Zeh Palito, Um Lugar ao sol, Act Arte, Brazil

Zeh Palito, Um Lugar ao sol, Act Arte, Brazil Publications Um Lugar ao Sol is the first book dedicated to the poetry of Zéh Palito (Limeira, SP, 1986). With intense colors and captivating compositions, the Brazilian artist celebrates the richness of Afro-diasporic culture, positioning black people as protagonists, breaking stereotypes associated with their bodies and reviving narratives that were violently erased. Produced in partnership with Galeria Simões de Assis, the publication brings together around 150 works created between 2019 and 2024, in addition to highlighting five solo exhibitions held in Brazil, the United States, Italy and Mexico. Organized by Mariane Beline, Luana Rosiello and the artist himself, the book also features essays by renowned curators Ademar Britto Jr., Chantel Akworkor Thompson, Larry Ossei-Mensah and Rodrigo Moura, as well as an interview with Zéh, Larry and fellow artist Derrick Adams.
