Gabriel Massan. Third World: The Bottom Dimension

Documenting the eponymous project which comprises a decolonial video game, exhibitions and web3 tokens to explore how digital infrastructures can build agency and foster change.Conceptualised by artist Gabriel Massan, the project brings together a vital generation of interdisciplinary, queer, Afro-diasporic Brazilian artists. Together their work embraces ancestral knowledge, decolonial gospels, climate sensibility, speculative fiction, and an openness to transformation. Massan combines storytelling and worldbuilding techniques to create digital sculptures and virtual ecosystems that simulate and narrate stories from Black-Indigenous Latin American experience, and to explore how digital infrastructures can build agency and foster change.Text: Kay Watson, Jochen Volz), Denise Ferreira da Silva, Lorraine Mendes, Salome Asega, Tamar Clarke-Brown, Ayrson Heraclito.
