Sadly, one of the greatest Contemporary Art collections of Latin America, Inhotim in Minas Gerais, continues to slide into DEI and wokism.  On a cloudy December day I visited most of the new exhibits installed since my last visit – which were nearly universal in dwelling on victimology.  (The one new gallery, Yayoi Jusama, thankfully did not.) 

In my prescient last blog post from Inhotim, I noted and asked “Inhotim boasts a permanent gallery whose hall-sized exhibit is dedicated to free expression and lambasts Soviet Communism.  How long will it stay up, curious minds wish to know?” Not long. Perhaps due to Brazil’s descent into leftist authoritarian control, the brilliant anti-Soviet exhibit has been replaced by a boring meditation on slave boat timbers (see caption of below image from Galeria Galpão for details).  Brazil, Brazil, when wilt thou recover?  [kindly hover over images for captions]
