De uma Belém a outra (2020)
From one Belém to another is about my experience when I left Belém of Pará, in Brazil, to go to Belém of Lisbon, in Portugal. This process is marked by the crossroads that my body felt and heard, having as its main motto the question of how the relationship between colonizers and colonized, established centuries ago with the meeting of the two countries, unfolds today.
For the created 'persona' I use elements of my mother's experience with her sisters in order to raise questions related to the imposition of the European standard as hegemonic. In that way, it moves from the familiar sense to universal questions.
