Scene from the video "Refino #2" (2017) by Tiago Sant’Ana, exhibited in the "Delírio Tropical" exhibition at the Pinacoteca do Ceará. The image shows a Black man sitting beneath a continuous cascade of sugar pouring over his body, set against the ruins of the former Engenho de Oiteiro in the Recôncavo of Bahia. The artwork reflects on coloniality and the enduring marks of slavery on racialized bodies.
