These calls for witnesses have been presented as a way to preserve traces of the pandemic for the future and to give a voice to all kinds of people confronted with the health crisis, in order to build an \"ordinary memory\" of the event. In this paper, we will study these social practices of witnessing in a time of crisis. Who were the people who answered these callouts? Who will be considered the witnesses of this pandemic in the future What social groups do they come from in terms of level of education, income, marital status, place of residence, birthplace, ethnicity, religion, and gender? This article will ask to what extent ordinary memories of crisis can really be preserved. It argues that institutional calls for witnesses of the health crisis cannot avoid reproducing some of the social inequalities that have been central in framing ordinary people's experience of the pandemic and the lockdown.","PeriodicalId":347966,"journal":{"name":"AHM Conference 2022: ‘Witnessing, Memory, and Crisis’","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130224730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Not unique to the world's present circumstances, history has shown that domestic spaces often resided in unstable political environments, particularly within many countries in twentieth-century Latin America. Such was the case for many who lived in Brazil during the military dictatorship (1964-1985). Seeking more freedom, some artists and historians left Brazil, while some who remained were taken from their homes and imprisoned. As a witness to such atrocities, Brazilian artist Lygia Pape (1927-2004) used her artwork to emphasize the home as a site to contest the military dictatorship's actions. While scholarship has tended to focus on Pape's woodcuts and Neoconcrete works, this paper investigates Pape's artwork Divisor [Divider] (1967) and the photographic series Favela da Mare (1974-1976). In doing so, I emphasize an understudied site in her career: working class areas called favelas. Overlooking favelas' importance in Pape's career is problematic because during the dictatorship the government instituted a favela eradication policy. Using social art historical analysis, this paper argues that Pape's depictions of favela communities in Chacara do Cabeca and Favela da Mare counteracted favelas' destruction by documenting their presence. I find that Pape's works provide an alternative analysis as one not focused on favelas' connection to poverty, but rather in relation to innovative spatial syntax and scenes of everyday life. It is through Pape that one learns how artwork functions not merely as an aesthetic choice, but also as a way to confront societal assumptions about space, geography, and ultimately the places people call \"home.\"","PeriodicalId":347966,"journal":{"name":"AHM Conference 2022: ‘Witnessing, Memory, and Crisis’","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125414343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
