Notable work
In 2019, Marcelo Schellini was selected in the open call "Nova Fotografia”[10](New Photography) of the MIS (São Paulo Museum of Image and Sound) to display the photographic essay Tarikh al-Brasil.[11][12] The work, incorporated into the museum's collection in 2020, has been exhibited and published in various places and media since then.[13]Consequently, it became one of the artist's most notable works.[14][15]
The title Tarikh al-Brasil[16], translated from Arabic as “History of Brazil”, represents a visual exploration of the visibility and invisibility of Muslims of African descent within Brazilian history and society.[17][18][19] African Muslims first arrived in the Americas over four centuries ago via the Atlantic slave trade.[20] Despite their enslavement, they played a pivotal socio-cultural role, sparking numerous freedom uprisings, most notably the Levante dos Malês (Malê Revolt) of 1835, a defining chapter of the African diaspora history.[11][21]
According to the author, Tarikh al-Brasil explores the potential of photography to navigate the boundary between documentation and invention, inviting reflection on how we see and reinterpret history.[19][22]
