About Sertão Negro
Sertão Negro is a Brazilian art school Founded in 2021 by artist Dalton Paula and scholar Ceiça Ferreira where art, food, housing, and land are the grounds for communal life. Sertão Negro is more than an institution—it is a holistic school rooted in Black cultural traditions and the spirit of the quilombo, where art, food, housing, and land are the grounds for communal life. By hosting Sertão Negro at Storefront, we welcome their spirit of community and reworlding.
Throughout this exhibition, the gallery becomes an active extension of Sertão Negro and the networks of support that have emerged from their work. Sertão Negro’s presence unfolds through artworks, archives, films, and a series of weekly public programs led by members of the collective in partnership with local organizations. Each embodied gathering—ranging from recurring Capoeira sessions to crafting workshops—affirms that knowledge is collective, care is mutual, and art is inseparable from everyday life.
