Título Salvaje ⇄ Salvaged Title

Tropeycalia Club is a trio of artists rooted in the revolutionary, collaborative spirit of the 1960s Brazilian Tropicália movement. Through paintings, mixed media, and installations, artists John Yoyogi Fortes, Carlo Ricafort, and Juan Carlos Quintana use satire and pointed humor as subversive tools to "cannibalize" and expose the absurdities of cultural imperialism and consumerism. Their work draws on the legacy of colonialism to advocate for cultural sovereignty and diversity in an increasingly fragmented, hyper-globalized world. By fostering a critical consciousness through art, they aim to provoke dialogue around social justice and the ongoing struggles for self-determination.

Artist Talk: Thursday, September 24

Speakers: John Yoyogi Fortes, Carlo Ricafort, and Juan Carlos Quintana
