The Brazilian German artist duo of Bárbara Wagner (DAI, 2011) and Benjamin de Burca, counter the impulse to categorize culture in terms that are fixed--or deemed "folk" by organizations such as UNESCO--by exploring cultural change across generations and geographies. Their work celebrates and reframes vernacular cultural forms as they have manifested through time; as popular traditions become pop culture, for instance. Through their films, the artists examine a space in between, where cultural forms of the past adapt in response to changing economic conditions--particularly in emerging economies or postcolonial geographical contexts--and where popular genres persist through cultural mixing and diasporic refashioning. The artists look to how performative forms of colonial cultural resistance in Brazil's northeast, in particular, continue today but in revised expression.
