Artist talk: Rosângela Rennó & Ileana Selejan
Activity
Meet the artist and get to know the exhibition Encounters | Encontros through the eyes of Rosângela Rennó, accompanied by curator Ileana Selejan.
Especially for the festive opening weekend of the BredaPhoto Festival, BredaPhoto and Grote Kerk Breda organise this unique artist talk. Will you be there?

Her works are housed in collections at MOMA in New York and Tate Modern in London, among others.
