The exhibition guides visitor through images of contrasting rooms and objects and the tensions between them. There\u2019re photographs of neat, nicely decorated bedrooms with nice views. There\u2019re also images of smaller, windowless, clattered, messy painted rooms.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe maid\u2019s room is the sedimentation of centuries of domination,\u201d says curator Eduardo Queiroga was quoted as saying in a statement, adding that recent changes in the Brazilian legislation diminished the number of housekeepers sleeping in the job and many of these rooms were converted into storage rooms.<\/p>\n

Master Bedroom and Maid\u2019s Room is a visual research project developed by Jos\u00e9 Afonso from 2018 to 2020 with support from the Fund of Incentive to the Culture of Pernambuco and features photographs and texts published on the website created for the project, in Brazilian Portuguese. For the exhibition in Beirut<\/strong>, the material was printed for the first time, featuring Arabic and English texts.<\/p>\n

Jos\u00e9 Afonso works on documental projects and advises authorial projects by other photographers. He is an associate professor at the Federal University of Pernambuco, where he\u2019s a researcher and advises theses, dissertations, undergraduate research. He\u2019s also a curator and a photography critic, and he holds a post-doctoral degree from the Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, and a doctoral and a master\u2019s degree in Communication and Contemporary Cultures from the Federal University of Bahia, Brazil.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Embassy of Brazil in Beirut bets on the power of the art to represent the complex realities and foster the intercultural dialogue,\u201d added the embassy in the statement. The embassy said this\u2019ll be the first of a series of exhibitions to be held at the Guimar\u00e3es Rosa Institute \u2013 Beirut, addressing social, environmental, and human rights topics that are relevant to the societies of both countries.<\/p>\n
