Vol. 1 No. 20 (2025): Obscene: investigations into what barely fits in the eye

The 20th issue of Rebento Journal, titled "Obs-cena: investigations into what barely fits in the gaze," invited artists and researchers interested in what is or is placed "outside" the stage, focusing on the potential of the unfinished, the forbidden, the threatened of erasure, and what is perceived as negative. We received reports of experiences in spaces responsible for the fermentation of creative processes (rehearsal rooms, street research studios, laboratories, studios, workshops, and notebooks, among others), or constituted by subjects considered inappropriate and by borderline languages. Among the questions in this issue, we challenged our contributors to reflect on the role of visual arts, theater, circus, and dance in expanding the boundaries of public morality accepted in certain environments, as well as to understand in their writings what is absent or still unformed in historiography, dramaturgy, academic studies, exhibition spaces, and the scope of criticism.
