This Monday (19) in your ANBA Bulletin: Isaura Daniel brings a story on fine artist Denise Milan. A third-generation Lebanese immigrant, she makes art using stones to engage in a conversation with the public on survival, coexistence, humanity, and even her grandparents' 19th century journey to Brazil. “Survival or disappearance was also the drama of those travelers, those migrants. Would they disappear or would they survive in those brand new lands?”, said the artist. A solo project by Milan is on display in the 33rd São Paulo International Art Biennial.
