On Wednesday, April 24, 2024, art historian and IFRC member Rodrigo D’Alcantara along with the participating artists celebrated the launch of this publication with a roundtable discussion. The publication is a culmination of the dissident contemporary art project TransWEB. 

TransWEB: Building Dissident Platforms Through Virtuality (2024) is a digital publication organized by IFRC Graduate member and PhD Candidate Rodrigo D’Alcântara. It features essays by D’Alcântara and Brazilian transdisciplinary artists Dyó Potyguara, Romulo Barros, Yná Kabê Rodríguez, Walla Capelobo and Sumé Aguiar. The authors were invited to discuss notions of transnationality, trans-culturalism, trans-species, transsexuality, among other plural ways of thinking about the practice of Brazilian dissident art in dialog with North American epistemologies. This publication emerges from TransWEB residency held at the SBC Gallery in 2022.   

This event was a collaboration between Rodrigo d’Alcântara, A Pilastra Gallery, and SBC Gallery of Contemporary Art. The digital publication was supported by the Indigenous Futures Research Centre at Concordia University.
